Anthropologists suggest that the relationship between the body weight and
brain weight of primates can be modeled with a power function. The table
below lists various body weights and the corresponding brain weights of
different primates.
| , g | 6667 | 960 | 6800 | 9500 | 1088 | 2733 | 3000 | 6300 | 1500 | 665 |
| , mg | 56,567 | 18,200 | 110,525 | 120,100 | 20,700 | 78,250 | 58,200 | 96,400 | 31,700 | 25,050 |
(a) Using the table, find a power function that gives the brain weight,
(in mg), as a function of the body weight, (in gm).
(b) The Erythrocebus (Patas monkey) has a body weight of gm.
Estimate its brain weight.
Its brain weighs approximately .
