Practice Questions

Question 1

Which of the following statistical concepts is most closely associated with assessing the representativeness of a sample in forest inventory?

Question 2

A forester is using a linear regression model to predict tree height ($H$) based on Diameter at Breast Height ($DBH$). The model is given by $H = 1.5 + 0.8 \cdot DBH$. If a tree has a $DBH$ of $25$ cm, what is its predicted height in meters?

Question 3

Question 4

In the context of forest biometrics, what does the term 'form factor' refer to?
