Heights (cm) and weights (kg) are measured for 100 randomly selected adult males, and range from heights of 135 to 190 cm and weights of 38 to 150 kg. Let the
predictor variable x be the first variable given. The 100 paired measurements yield x = 167.42 cm, y = 81.41 kg, r= 0.193, P-value = 0.054, and y = - 106 + 1.14x. Find
%3D
the best predicted value of y (weight) given an adult male who is 142 cm tall. Use a 0.01 significance level.
The best predicted value of y for an adult male who is 142 cm tall is
kg.

Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 44 male firefighters are tested and
that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight), Assume that o = 8.00 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma.
