Suppose IQ scores were obtained from randomly selected
twins
.
For
20
such pairs of people, the linear correlation coefficient is
0.937
and the equation of the regression line is
ModifyingAbove y with caret equals negative 16.5 plus 1.16 x
,
where x represents the IQ score of the
twin born second
.
Also, the
20
x values have a mean of
101.81
and the
20
y values have a mean of
101.8
.
What is the best predicted IQ of the
twin born first
,
given that the
twin born second
has an IQ of
103
?
Use a significance level of 0.05.
The best predicted IQ of the twin born first is ______.
