If the person who reportedly is 84 inches tall is excluded, the regression equation for the remaining 32 men is expressed with the following formula.
ŷ = 0.253 + 0.384x
(a)
How much does average foot length increase (in cm) for each 1-inch increase in height? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
cm
(b)
Predict the difference in the foot lengths (in cm) of men whose heights differ by 10 inches. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
cm
(c)
Suppose Max is 62 inches tall and has a foot length of 24.80 centimeters. On the basis of the regression equation, what is the predicted foot length (in cm) for Max? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
cm
What is the value of the prediction error (residual) for Max (in cm)? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
