Question
Suppose that a researcher studying the weight of female college athletes wants to predict the weights based on height, measured in inches, and the percentage of body fat of an athlete. The researcher calculates the regression equation as (weight) = 3.544*(height) + 1.064*(percent body fat) - 87.076. If a female athlete is 64 inches tall and has a 21 percentage of body fat, what is her expected weight?
