To find the meaning of the \( f \)-value when \( h = 152 \) in the equation \( h = 58.4 + 2.32f \), we need to determine \( f \) (the femur length) when the expected height \( h \) is 152 cm.
-
Set the equation equal to 152: \[ 152 = 58.4 + 2.32f \]
-
Subtract 58.4 from both sides: \[ 152 - 58.4 = 2.32f \] \[ 93.6 = 2.32f \]
-
Divide both sides by 2.32 to solve for \( f \): \[ f = \frac{93.6}{2.32} \approx 40.34 \]
Now, \( f \) represents the femur length for someone with an expected height of 152 centimeters.
Therefore, the correct answer is: The femur length for someone with an expected height of 152 centimeters.
