Problem - Desert Ecology: Wildlife

Bighorn sheep are beautiful wild animals found through-out the western United States. Data for this problem are based on information taken from the Desert Bighorn, edited by Monson and Sumner (University of Arizona Press). Let x be the age of a bighorn sheep (in years), and let y be the mortality rate (percent that die) in this age group. For example, x = 1, y = 14 means that 14% of the bighorn sheep between 1 and 2 years old died. A random sample of Arizona bighorn sheep gave the following information:

x	1	2	3	4	5
y	14	18.9	14.4	19.6	20.0
