Monarch butterfly populations are often dependent upon milkweed plants in order to thrive. This is an example of: r/K selection theory species that are resistant to human interference biotic factor that limits population growth an abiotic factor that limits population growth a species that is resistant to dispersal events

Butterfly wings: Do larger butterflies live longer? The wingspan (in millimeters) and the lifespan in the adult state (in days) were measured for 22 species of butterfly. Following are the results: Wingspan Lifespan Wingspan Lifespan 35.5 19.8 25.9 32.5 30.6 17.3 31.3 27.5 30.0 27.5 23.0 31.0 32.3 22.4 26.3 37.4 23.9 40.7 23.7 22.6 27.7 18.3 27.1 23.1 28.8 25.9 28.1 18.5 35.9 23.1 25.9 32.3 25.4 24.0 28.8 29.1 24.6 38.8 31.4 37.0 28.1 36.5 28.5 33.7 Source: Oikos Journal of Ecology 105:41-54 a. Compute the least-squares regression line for predicting the lifespan from the wingspan. b. Is it possible to interpret the y-intercept? Explain. c. If the wingspans of two butterflies differ by 2 millimeters, by how much would you predict their lifespans to differ? d. Predict the lifespan for a butterfly whose wingspan is 28.5 millimeters.
