  • Generate the scatter plot of this data and graph the regression line in your plot. Include a picture of this graph and explain your impression of how well the line fits the data.
  • State the equation of the regression line.

             

  • Find r (correlation coefficient). Interpret the value of r in the context of

      this problem.

        

  • Find the coefficient of determination, r2. Explain what it means in the context of this problem.

  • Provide examples of other lurking variables that may have an effect on weight besides height.

 

  • Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that ρ > 0. Show all steps of your hypothesis test.

 

  • Predict the weight of a man whose height is 60 inches.

 

(h) Find a 90% confidence interval for men of height 60 inches (use your answer from part g). Include your interpretation of the confidence interval. Show your formula for E with all important values included.
