- Compute the least-squares regression line for predicting weight from height
- Is it possible to interpret the y-intercept? Explain
- If two quarterbacks differ in height by two inches. By how much would you predict their weights to differ?
- Predict the weight of a quarterback who is 74.5 inch tall
- Geno Smith is 74 inches tall and weighs 218 pounds. Does he weight more or less than the weight predicted by the least-squares regression line?

Since no existing treatment exists, they have planned a one-armstudy. They wish to test whether the success rate of the drug is better than 50%, whichthey have defined as the null success rate. Preliminary testing has estimated the successrate of the drug at 55%. The investigators are eager to get the drug into production andwould like to plan for 9 interim analyses (10 analyzes in total) of the data.
