This table displays the relationship between height (in inches) and head circumference (in inches). Each row represents a set of measurements for a specific individual or observation. The first column lists the height values, while the second column provides the corresponding head circumference measurements. These data points can be used for analysis or educational purposes, such as understanding correlations or patterns in physical growth.
![A pediatrician wants to determine the relationship between a child's height, \( x \), and head circumference, \( y \). She randomly selects 11 children from her practice, measures their heights and head circumferences, and obtains the accompanying data. Complete parts (a) through (g) below.
(a) Find the least-squares regression line treating height as the explanatory variable and head circumference as the response variable.
\[
\hat{y} = 0.165x + 13
\]
(Round the slope to three decimal places and round the constant to one decimal place as needed.)
(b) Interpret the slope and y-intercept, if appropriate.
First, interpret the slope. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
- A. For every inch increase in head circumference, the height increases by \(\_\_\_\) in., on average. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
- B. For a height of 0 inches, the head circumference is predicted to be \(\_\_\_\) in. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
- C. For a head circumference of 0 inches, the height is predicted to be \(\_\_\_\) in. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
- D. For every inch increase in height, the head circumference increases by \(\_\_\_\) in., on average. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/4b16ece0-c783-4798-b8b6-3ccb9c1c7a2c/bd59b974-c81f-4426-b068-c252ee2d7e2e/2jl0f3h_thumbnail.png)

- C and Darrow_forward6arrow_forwardAllergic reactions to poison ivy can be miserable. Plant oils cause the reaction. Researchers at Allergy Institute did a study to determine the effects of washing the oil off within 5 minutes of exposure. A random sample of 1000 people with known allergies to poison ivy participated in the study. Oil from the poison ivy plant was rubbed on a patch of skin. For 500 of the subjects, it was washed off within 5 minutes. For the other 500 subjects, the oil was washed off after 5 minutes. The results are summarized in the following table. Reaction None Mild Strong Column Total Within 5 Minutes After 5 Minutes 391 65 44 500 66 341 93 500 Row Total 457 406 137 1000 Let's use the following notation for the various events: W= washing oil off within 5 minutes, A = washing oil off after 5 minutes, N = no reaction, M = mild reaction, S = strong reaction. Find the following probabilities for a person selected at random from this sample of 1000 subjects. (Use 3 decimal places.)arrow_forward
