Suppose that a random sample of 212 twenty-year-old men is selected from a population and that their heights and weights are recorded. A regression of weight on height yields Weight = (-105.3746) +4.1764 x Height, R = 0.859, SER = 10 8120 (2.2790 ) (0.3286) where Weight is measured in pounds and Height is measured in inches. A man has a late growth spurt and grows 1.5900 inches over the course of a year. Construct a confidence interval of 80% for the person's weight gain. The 80% confidence interval for the person's weight gain is ( ) (in pounds) (Round your responses to two decimal places.)

A regression was run to determine if there is a relationship between hours of TV watched per day (x) and number of situps a person can do (y).The results of the regression were:y=ax+b a=-0.76 b=21.83 r2=0.659344 r=-0.812 Use this to predict the number of situps a person who watches 4 hours of TV can do (to one decimal place)
A regression of average monthly expenditure (AME, measured in euros) on average monthly income (AMI, measured in euros) using a random sample of college-educated full-time workers earnings €100 to €1.5 million yields the following: AME = 710.7 + 8.8 × AMI, R2 = 0.030, SER = 540.30 d. What does the regression predict will be the expenditure of a person with an income of €100? With an income of €200? e. Will the regression give reliable predictions for a person with an income of €2 million? Why or why not? ( f. Given what you know about the distribution of earnings, do you think it is plausible that the distribution of errors in the regression is normal? (Hint: Do you think that the distribution is symmetric or skewed? What is the smallest value of earnings, and is it consistent with a normal distribution?).
