Textbook Question
Chapter 12.1, Problem 5PB
Mu, not y For a population regression equation, why is it more sensible to write µy = α + βx instead of y = α + βx? Explain with reference to the variables x = height and y = weight for the population of girls in elementary schools in your hometown.

The average height of people in Faroe island is 180cm. Suppose you run a regression with no independent variables. What would be the estimated form of your regression?
For the regression equation, Ŷ = –2X + 6, what can be determined about the correlation between X and Y?
For a group of children, mean age is 10 years
with S.D. 2·5 years. The average height of the group is 125 cms
with S.D. of 13 cms. The coefficient of correlation between age and
height is 0-6. Write the equation of two regression lines and explain
their use.

- A study was conducted to see if birth weight affects the increase in weight of a newborn betweendays 70 and 100 of life. The study recorded the birth weight (in ounces) (X) for 12 newborns and thenfollowed up to record the increase in weight between days 70 and 100, and expressed it as the percentageof the birth weight (Y). The regression line between the two variables was found to beIncrease (% of birth weight) = 256.3 −1.74 × birth weight Note: The symbol above is a stretched hat symbol to indicate ˆy.
