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.
d) A randomly selected student from your class has a shoulder girth of 104 cm. Predict the height of this student using the model. Round to the nearest whole number
e) The student from part (d) is 163 cm tall. Calculate the residual and round to the nearest whole number.

- An Ohio college student died when he tried to escape from dormitory elevator that was overloaded with 25 passengers. The elevator was rated for a maximum weight of 2500 pounds. Let’s consider this elevator with an allowable weight of 2500 pounds. Let’s also consider parameters for weights of adults, as shown in the accompanying table (based on Data Set 1 “Body Data” in Appendix B of your e-text). Body Weights Males Females Mean 189 lb 171 lb Standard Deviation 39 lb 46 lb Distribution Normal Normal We could consider design features such as the type of music that could be played on the elevator. We could select songs as “Imagine” or “Daydream Believer.” Instead, we will focus on the critical design feature of weight. 4.
