The table shows some data from a sample of heights of fathers and their sons.

The scatterplot (not shown) suggests a linear trend.

  1. Find and report the regression equation for predicting the son's height from the father's height. Then predict the height of a son with a father 74 inches tall. Also predict the height of a son of a father who is 65 inches tall.
  2. Find and report the regression equation for predicting the father's height from the son's height. Then predict a father's height from that of a son who is 74 inches tall and also predict a father's height from that of a son who is 65 inches tall.
  3. What phenomenon does this show?
