Question: You are conducting a study testing whether a childs age is a good predictor of his or her height. You have collected the following data
You are conducting a study testing whether a childs 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 | 77 |
| 50 | 95 |
| 63 | 130 |
| 59 | 120 |
| 53 | 109 |
| 44 | 102 |
| 40 | 94 |
Perform a regression of height (dependent variable) on age (independent variable).
What is the Y-intercept of the regression line?
58.37
52.81
68.60
39.07
24.73
What is the slope (beta) of the regression line?
0.63
1.52
1.61
0.69
1.31
The regression model predicts that a 5-year-old child (60 months) would be approximately tall.
