Question

the formula w = 0.00189h^{2.62} is used to estimate the normal weight w of a boy h inches tall. find the expected weight of a boy who is 35 inches tall. the expected weight of the boy is approximately lb. (type an integer or a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute the value of h.

Substitute \(h = 35\) into the formula \(w=0.00189h^{2.62}\), so \(w = 0.00189\times35^{2.62}\).

Step2: Calculate \(35^{2.62}\).

Using a calculator, \(35^{2.62}\approx1941.97\).

Step3: Calculate the value of w.

\(w=0.00189\times1941.97\approx 3.7\).

Answer:

3.7
