Answer: 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the relationship between month since plant was bought t and plant height H ;

t

0.5

3

5

H:

17.25

23.5

28.5

Using the online regression calculator, the regression model obtained is :

y = 16x + 2.5

Using this model, we can obtain the height when t = 0 ; this will give the height at the time of purchase of the plant. Therefore, at x = 0

y = 16(0) + 2.5

y = 0 + 2.5

y = 2.5

Hence, height of plant = 2.5
