Answer to Question 1

b
RATIONALE: In the Bass forecasting model, the coefficient of imitation measures the likelihood of adoption due to a potential adopter being influenced by someone who has already adopted the product.

Answer to Question 2

0.4
RATIONALE: As the run speed increases by 1 unit (holding body weight constant), heart weight is expected to decrease by 0.4 units. This is the case because the coefficient on the only term that is changing is 0.4 . All other terms remain constant.
