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 77
5 0 95
63 109
59 99
53 101
44 106
40 94
Perform a regression of height (dependent variable) on age (independent variable).
What is the Y-intercept of the regression line?
43.73
52.81
60.46
24.73
59.70
What is the slope (beta) of the regression line?
1.16
1.27
0.75
1.61
1.52
The regression model predicts that a 4-year-old child (48 months) would be approximately tall.
