Question: The computer output shown below is for predicting foot length from hand length (in cm) for a group of women. Assume the trend is linear.

The computer output shown below is for predicting foot length from hand length (in cm) for a group of women. Assume the trend is linear. Summary statistics for the data are shown in the table below.
The computer output shown below is for predicting foot length

The regression equation is
y = 5.67 + 0.998 x
Pearson correlation of HandL and FootL = 0.948
a. Report the regression equation, using the words €œHand€ and €œFoot,€ not x and y.
b. Verify the slope by using the formula b = r sy/sx.
c. Verify the y-intercept by using the formula a = y-bar €“ bx-bar.
d. Using the regression equation, predict the foot length (in cm) for someone who has a hand length of 18 cm.

Mean Hand, 17.682 Foot,y 23.318 Standard Deviation 1.168 1.230
