Suppose that researchers obtain a random sample of adults ages 18 – 40 and collect data on the following variables: shoe size – in inches age – in years height – in inches forearm length – in inches Suppose further that a multiple linear regression model is fit to the resulting data set using R Studio and that the following output is obtained from it. Use this output to answer the question that follows: > summary(lm(shoesize ~ age + height + forearm, data = measures)) Coefficients: (Intercept) age height forearm Estimate 10.14882 0.06045 -0.02108 -0.06479 Std.

The probability that our model predicts the correct shoe size of a person using their age, height, and forearm length is 0.01477. 1.477% of the variation in the shoe size of adults ages 18 – 40 can be explained by their age, height, and forearm length. The probability that our model predicts the correct age of a person using their shoe size, height, and forearm length is 0.01477. 0.01477% of the variation in the age, height and forearm length of adults ages 18 - 40 can be explained by their shoe size.
