Question

(1 point) We have data on the lean body mass and resting metabolic rate for 12 women who are subjects in a study of dieting. Lean body mass, given in kilograms, is a person's weight leaving out all fat. Metabolic rate, in calories burned per 24 hours, is the rate at which the body consumes energy.

Mass 50.7 54 41.6 40.3 52.3 42.7 42.3 38.1 40.1 40.8 44.6 47

Rate 1110 950 1590 1390 980 1150 1010 1280 1400 1470 1390 1060
