Question

Twenty-five volunteer athletes participated in a study of cross-disciplinary athletic abilities. The group was comprised of athletes from football, baseball, water polo, volleyball, and soccer. None had ever played organized basketball, but did acknowledge interest and some social participation in the game.

Height (inches), weight (pounds), and speed in the 100-yard dash (seconds) were recorded for each subject. The basketball test consisted of the number of field goals that could be made in a 60-min. period. The data are given in Table 8.29.

We are interested in predicting GOALMADE using some combination of WEIGHT, HEIGHT, DASH100.

QUESTION: What is the unit of measure for the regression coefficient related to HEIGHT? (Hint: Recall, B_heightis a slope)

**Table 8.29: Basket Goals Related to Physique**

This table presents data on basket goals made, in relation to physical attributes such as weight and height, alongside a 100-meter dash time.
