Textbook Question
Chapter 13.2, Problem 13PB
Predicting weight Let’s use multiple regression to predict total body weight (TBW, in pounds) using data from a study of female college athletes. Possible predictors are HGT = height (in inches), %BF = percent body fat, and age. The display shows the
- a. Which explanatory variable gives by itself the best predictions of weight? Explain.
- b. With height as the sole predictor, ŷ = −106 + 3.65 (HGT) and r2 = 0.55. If you add %BF as a predictor, you know that R2 will be at least 0.55. Explain why.
- c. When you add % body fat to the model, ŷ = −121 + 3.50(HGT) + 1.35(%BF) and R2 = 0.66. When you add age to the model, ŷ = −97.7 + 3.43(HGT) + 1.36(%BF) − 0.960(AGE) and R2 = 0.67. Once you know height and % body fat, does age seem to help you in predicting weight? Explain, based on comparing the R2 values.
