Question

Use the linear transformation model to predict the number of fish in 12 months

log y = 0.9013.logx+ 0.6935

Answer 1

Assuming that y is the number of fish and x is the number of months. The equation can be solve using the properties of logarithms.

log y = 0.9013.logx+ 0.6935

since x = 12 months, and substitute it to the equation

log y = 0.9013.log(12)+ 0.6935

log y = 1.6662

y = 10^1.6662

y = 46 fish in 12 months
