Bikeco manufactured a bicycle that it sold to Bike Shop, a retail bicycle dealer, which in turn sold it to Martha.  Shortly thereafter, while Martha was riding the bicycle along a street in town, she saw a traffic light facing her change from green to yellow.  Martha sped up hoping to cross the intersection before the light turned red.  Martha then realized that she could not do so and so applied the brakes of the bicycle.  However, the brakes failed.  In order to avoid traveling into the intersection, Martha turned the bicycle sharply to the right and rode the bicycle on to the sidewalk where the bicycle hit Billy, a pedestrian.  As a result, both Martha and Billy sustained injuries.  If Martha asserts a claim against Bike Shop based on strict liability in tort, will Martha prevail?

Scientists have developed a new forensic method for estimating the age of an unidentified crime victim using DNA information in the victim’s blood measured in dCt (in difference of base pairs).  To confirm the accuracy of the method, Dutch researchers recorded blood test in dCt and the age of 195 volunteers ranging in age from a few weeks to 80 years. The resulting scatterplot (from their paper in Current Biology) is shown below.         The least squares regression line is AGE = -33.65 – 6.74 x BLOOD TEST MEASUREwith r-squared = 83.5%.  Type a complete interpretation of the slope of the regression equation in the context of this scenario.
