Exercise 7.15 introduces data on shoulder girth and height of a group of individuals. In the data set, the minimum shoulder girth is 87 cm and the maximum shoulder girth is 134 cm. The mean shoulder girth is 105.87 cm with a standard deviation of 10.13 cm. The mean height is 173.14 cm with a standard deviation of 9.01 cm. The correlation between height and shoulder girth is 0.695. a) Write the equation of the regression line for predicting height. Slope (round 3 decimal places): c) Calculate R2R2 of the regression line for predicting height from shoulder girth. Round to three decimal places Interpret R2R2 in the context of the application. A. About 100*(R2R2)% of the variability in height is accounted for by the model, i.e. explained by the shoulder girth B. About 100*(R2R2)% of the variability in shoulder girth is accounted for by the model, i.e. explained by the height C. About 100*(R2R2)% of the data in height is accounted for by the model, i.e. explained by the shoulder girth D. About 100*(R2R2)% of data in shoulder girth is accounted for by the model, i.e. explained by height

Question

Exercise 7.15 introduces data on shoulder girth and height of a group of individuals. In the data set, the minimum shoulder girth is 87 cm and the maximum shoulder girth is 134 cm. The mean shoulder girth is 105.87 cm with a standard deviation of 10.13 cm. The mean height is 173.14 cm with a standard deviation of 9.01 cm. The correlation between height and shoulder girth is 0.695.

a) Write the equation of the regression line for predicting height.
Slope (round 3 decimal places):

c) Calculate R2R2 of the regression line for predicting height from shoulder girth. Round to three decimal places

Interpret R2R2 in the context of the application.

A. About 100*(R2R2)% of the variability in height is accounted for by the model, i.e. explained by the shoulder girth

B. About 100*(R2R2)% of the variability in shoulder girth is accounted for by the model, i.e. explained by the height

C. About 100*(R2R2)% of the data in height is accounted for by the model, i.e. explained by the shoulder girth

D. About 100*(R2R2)% of data in shoulder girth is accounted for by the model, i.e. explained by height
