Question

Heights (cm) and weights (kg) are measured for 100 randomly selected adult males, and range from heights of 130 to 190 cm and weights of 40 to 150 kg. Let the predictor variable x be the first variable given. The 100 paired measurements yield x= 167.65 cm, y= 81.36 kg, r= 0.309, P-value= 0,002, and y= 106+1.15x. Find the best predicted value of y (weight) given an adult male who is 156 cm tall. Use a 0.10 significance level.

Answer 1

The best predicted weight of a person that is 156 cm is 285.4kg

We have the regression equation as

y= 106+1.15

When the adult male is 156 cm tall the weight of this person would be calculated as:

y= 106+1.15*156

y = 106 + 179.4

y = 285.4

Hence we can arrive at the conclusion that the best predicted weight of a person that is 156 cm is 285.4kg
