Chapter 1.3, Problem 1E

Ideal weight. Dr. J. D. Robinson published the following estimate of the ideal body weight of a woman:

$49kg+1.7kg$ for each inch over 5 ft

(A) Find a linear model for Robinson’s estimate of the ideal weight of a woman using $w$ for

ideal body weight (in kilograms) and $h$ for height over 5 ft (in inches).

(B) Interpret the slope of the model.

(C) If a woman is $5\text{'}4"$ tall, what does the model predict her weight to be?

(D) If a woman weighs 60 kg, what does the model predict her height to be?
