You are conducting a study testing whether a child's age is a good predictor of his or her height. You have collected the following data from a random sample of seven children.
Age (months) Height (cm)
| 34 | 87 |
| 50 | 95 |
| 63 | 115 |
| 59 | 99 |
| 53 | 101 |
| 44 | 102 |
| 40 | 94 |
Perform a regression of height (dependent variable) on age (independent variable).
(a) What is the Y-intercept of the regression line?
59.70 73.73 65.67 58.37 60.46
(b) What is the slope of the regression line?
0.52 0.68 1.16 0.40 1.44
(c) The regression model predicts that a 4-year old child (48 months) would be approximately -------------------- tall.
