Using Data Set 1 “Body Data” in Appendix B, if we let the predictor variable x represent heights of males and let the response variable y represent weights of males, the sample of 153 heights and weights results in se = 16.27555 cm. In your own words, describe what that value of se represents.

AGE is in years, for GENDER 1 = male and 0 = female, PULSE is pulse rate (beats per minute), SYSTOLIC is systolic blood pressure (mm Hg), DIASTOLIC is diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg), HDL is HDL cholesterol (mg/dL), LDL is LDL cholesterol (mg/dL), WHITE is white blood cell count (1000 cells/mL), RED is red blood cell count (million cells/mL), PLATE is platelet count (1000 cells/mL), WEIGHT is weight (kg), HEIGHT is height (cm), WAIST is waist circumference (cm), ARM CIRC is arm circumference (cm), and BMI is body mass index (kg/m2).
