Body Fat. In the paper “Total Body Composition by Dual- Photon (153 Gd) Absorptiometry” (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol. 40, pp. 834–839), R. Mazess et al. studied methods for quantifying body composition. Eighteen randomly selected adults were measured for percentage of body fat, using dual-photon absorptiometry. Each adult’s age and percentage of body fat are shown on the WeissStats site.
a. Decide whether finding a regression line for the data is reasonable. If so, then also do parts (b)–(d).
b. Obtain the coefficient of determination.
c. Determine the percentage of variation in the observed values of the response variable explained by the regression, and interpret your answer.
d. State how useful the regression equation appears to be for making predictions.

a. Decide whether you can reasonably apply the regression t-test. If so, then also do part (b).
b. Decide, at the 5% significance level, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the predictor variable is useful for predicting the response variable.
