Question 34
A company has developed a new fodder for pigs. To model the “increase in weight of a piglet (in pounds) in one week”, an experiment is performed in which eight piglets were exclusively feed the fodder. Table-3 below provides the data on “Initial weight (pounds)”, “Age of the piglet (weeks)”, “Actual Weight gained after one week (pounds)” and “Predicted Weight gained after one week (pounds)” . The column "Predicted Weight gained after one week (pounds)" is obtained using Model-1
| Piglet Number | Initial Weight (pounds) | Initial Age (weeks) | Actual Weight Gained (pounds) | Predicted Weight Gained (pounds) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 39 | 8 | 7 | 6.1 |
| 2 | 52 | 6 | 6 | 5.8 |
| 3 | 49 | 7 | 8 | 6.3 |
| 4 | 46 | 12 | 10 | 10.0 |
| 5 | 61 | 9 | 9 | 9.1 |
| 6 | 35 | 6 | 5 | 4.1 |
| 7 | 25 | 7 | 3 | 3.9 |
| 8 | 55 | 4 | 4 | 4.5 |
