The expected weight for a bluegill fish that is 11 inches long is equal to: A. 19.47 ounces.
Based on the information provided, the regression equation that represents or models the relationship between the lengths and weights for 15 different-sized bluegill fish is given by this mathematical expression:
In(Weight) = -5.28 + 3.44 In(Length)
Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;
In(Weight) = -5.28 + 3.44(11)
In(Weight) = -5.28 + 37.84
In(Weight) = 32.56 inches.
Next, we would convert the weight in inches to ounces;
1 inch = 0.5979729730 ounce.
32.56 inches = X ounce.
Cross-multiplying, we have:
X ounce = 32.56 inches × 0.5979729730 ounce.
X ounce = 19.47 ounces.
