Assignment:
Use the given data to find the best predicted value of the response variable. Be sure to follow the prediction procedure summarized in Figure below.
Heights of Mothers and Daughters A sample of eight mother daughter pairs of subjects was obtained, and their heights (in inches) were measured. The linear correlation coefficient is 0.693 and the regression equation is yˆ = 69.0 - 0.0849x , where x represents the height of the mother (based on data from the National Health Examination Survey). The mean height of the mothers is 63.1 in. and the mean height of the daughters is 63.3 in. Find the best predicted height of a daughter given that the mother has a height of 60 in.
