Question

Tail-feather length in birds is sometimes a sexually dimorphic trait. That is, the trait differs substantially for males and for females. Researchers studied the relationship between tail-feather length (measuring the R1 central tail feather) and weight in a sample of 20 male long-tailed finches raised in an aviary. The data are represented in the following scatterplot, along with the least-squares regression line equation and the square of the correlation coefficient (R ).

Explanation / Answer

The correct option is "No information available". Because the regression model is for Male as it is done in a sample of 20 male. So from this model you cannot say anything about the regression model for female as the trait differ substantially for Male and for female.
