Math Problem Statement
Stoaches are fictional creatures that are extremely territorial.
A regression model has been fit to predict the number 𝑏 of baby stoaches (“stoachlings”) that a female stoach will give birth to each spring, on the basis of territorial area 𝑎 : 𝑏̂ =0.106+0.021𝑎.
Assume a female stoach has 353 m2 of territory, and that it is valid to make a prediction. Predict the expected number of stoachlings. (Give your answer to 3 decimal places.)
