- The datasetBody.xlsgives the percent of weight made up of body fat for 100 men as well as other variables such as Age, Weight (lb), Height (in), and circumference (cm) measurements for the Neck, Chest, Abdomen, Ankle, Biceps, and Wrist. We are interested in predicting body fat based on abdomen circumference. Find the equation of the regression line relating to body fat and abdomen circumference. Make a scatter-plot with a regression line. What body fat percent does the line predict for a person with an abdomen circumference of 110 cm? One of the men in the study had an abdomen circumference of 92.4 cm and a body fat of 22.5 percent. Find the residual that corresponds to this observation.

- The arm span and foot length were both measured (in centimeters) for each of 20 students in a biology class. The computer output displays the regression analysis. Which of the following is the best interpretation of the coefficient of determination r2? About 37% of the variation in arm span is accounted for by the linear relationship formed with the foot length. About 65% of the variation in foot length is accounted for by the linear relationship formed with the arm span. About 63% of the variation in arm span is accounted for by the linear relationship formed with the foot length.
