As part of a research program for a new cholesterol drug, a pharmaceutical company would like to investigate the relationship between the ages and LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol of men. The accompanying data set shows the ages and LDL cholesterol levels of seven randomly selected men. Construct a 95% prediction interval to estimate the LDL cholesterol level of a 32-year-old man.
Age- 24, 37, 25, 33, 43, 31, 41
Cholesterol- 140, 177, 157, 197, 160, 141, 209
Determine the upper and lower limits of the prediction interval.
a) UPL=?
b) LPL=?
The statistical software output for this problem is:
On the basis of above output:
a) UPL = 232.17
LPL = 99.36
