Get started for freeFor which of the following sets of data points can you reasonably determine a regression line? Explain your answer.
Wasp Mating Systems. In the paper "Mating System and Sex Allocation in the Gregarious Parasitoid Cotesia glomerata" (Animal Behaviour, Vol. , pp. ). H. Gu and S. Dorn reported on various aspects of the mating system and sex allocation strategy of the wasp C. glomerata, One part of the study involved the investigation of the percentage of male wasps dispersing before mating in relation to the brood sex ratio (proportion of males). The data obtained by the researchers are on the WeissStats site.
a. Obtain a scatterplot for the data.
b. Is it reasonable to find a regression line for the data? Explain your answer.
