Measuring the height of a California redwood tree is very difficult because these trees grow to heights of over 300 feet. People familiar with these trees understand that the height of a California redwood tree is related to other characteristics of the tree, including the diameter of the tree at the breast height of a person. The data in the table represent the height (in feet) and diameter (in inches) at the breast height of a person for a sample of 21 California redwood trees.
Assuming a linear relationship, use the least- squares method to compute the regression coefficients b0 and b1. State the regression equation that predicts the height of a tree based on the tree’s diameter at breast height of a person.
Interpret the meaning of the slope in this equation.
Predict the mean height for a tree that has a breast height diameter of 25 inches.

One general belief held by observers of the business world is that taller men earn more money than shorter men. In a study reported in the Wall Street Journal, 30 MBA graduates, all about 30 years old, were surveyed and asked to report their annual incomes and their heights. These responses are recorded in MBA.xlsx.
a Estimate a linear relationship between heights and annual income of MBA graduates and interpret your results.
b Do these data provide sufficient statistical evidence to infer at the 5% significance level that taller men with MBAs earn more money than shorter ones?
c Provide a measure of the strength of the linear relationship between income and height.
d Obtain three measures to check the fitness of the model. Do you think that this model is good enough to be used to estimate and predict income on the basis of height? If not, explain why not. If so,
i predict the income of 183cm tall men with MBAs.
