a. Find the least-square regression line treating gestation period as the predictor
variable and life expectancy as the response variable.
b. Interpret the slope and intercept, if appropriate.
c. Suppose a new animal species have been discovered. After breeding the species in
captivity, it is determined that the gestation period is 95 days. Use the least
squares regression line to predict the life expectancy of the animal.
