Question
A security firm wants to renew the uniforms used by his personnel. It starts by collecting data on their height and weight. The following data was collected from the 19 employees
Height (cm) | Weight (kg) |
168 | 72 |
175 | 88 |
167 | 84 |
171 | 87 |
161 | 67 |
164 | 55 |
177 | 82 |
170 | 60 |
167 | 60 |
184 | 77 |
183 | 98 |
163 | 53 |
186 | 77 |
165 | 64 |
173 | 89 |
161 | 65 |
179 | 77 |
169 | 64 |
174 | 87 |
a). Construct an equation to relate these variables, using the least-squares method to determine the regression coefficients, b0 and b1.
b). Interpret the meaning of b0 and b1 in this problem.
c) determine the coefficient of determination, r2 and interpret its meaning.
