Please label each part

## Part (i)

**Task:** 
Use the least squares line to estimate the average height for a sixty-five-year-old man. (Use your equation from part (d). Round your answer to one decimal place.)

- Estimated average height: _______ cm

**Question:** 
Do you think that your answer is reasonable? Why or why not?

- Options:
  - ( ) Yes, because the answer is positive.
  - (●) No, because 65 is outside the domain of the least squares line.

## Part (j)

**Task:** 
What is the slope of the least squares (best-fit) line? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

- Slope: _______

**Interpretation:** 
Interpret the slope. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

- As age increases by one year, the average height **increases** by _______ centimeters.
