Solution:
a. What are the independent and dependent variables?
Answer: The independent variable is the Age of male children aged between 12 - 24 months old.
The dependent variable is the Height of male children aged between 12 - 24 months old.
b. What is the value of the intercept?
Answer: The intercept is .
c. What is the regression equation?
Answer: The regression equation is:
d. How will each additional month of age affect the height?
Answer: Each additional month of age increases the height by 0.55331 units.
e. Predict height when the age of a male child is 18 months old.
Answer:
f. If R2 = 0.4559, p< 0.001, what does that mean?
Answer: The R2 of 0.4559 means 45.59% of the variation in the dependent variable is explained by the regression model and the p-value < 0.001 means the regression equation is significant.
g. Predict the height of a male child whose age is 3 months. How would you conclude the results?
Answer: It would not be accurate to predict the height of 3 months male child because the regression equation is based on the male child aged 12 - 24 months
