10. [-/3 Points] DETAILSSmitley and Davis studied the changes in gypsy moth egg mass density over one generation as a function of the initial egg mass density in a control plot and two treated plots. The data below are for the control plot.Initial Egg Mass (per 0.04 ha) 50 75 100 160 175 180 200Change in Egg Mass Density (%) 250-100-25-25-50 50 0A. On the basis of the data given in the table, find the best-fitting logarithmic function using least squares. State the square of the correlation coefficient. (Note that the authors used logarithms to the base 10.) (Use 4 decimal places in your answers...y(x) =2 =B. Use this model to estimate the change in egg mass density with an initial egg mass of 120 per 0.04 ha. (Use 4 decimal places in your answer.)With an initial egg mass of 120 per 0.04ha, the change in mass density is%
