A group of researchers were studying the weight of young girls from ages 10-14 and then created a model to explain the relationship of weight and age:

Weight = B0 + B1*Age + E

1) In the following model, what does B0 represent?

Weight = B0 + B1*Age + E

Group of answer choices

2) In the following model, interpret B1 if B1 equals 7 pounds?

Weight = B0 + B1*Age + E

Choose the best, most complete answer.

We expect the average weight of girls at any age to increase by 7 pounds for a one-year increase in age.

We expect the average weight of girls between the ages of 10 and 14 to increase by 7 pounds for a one-year increase in age.

We expect the weight of girls at age 10 to increase by 7 pounds for a one-year increase in age.

Girls between the ages of 10 and 14 will increase in weight by at most 7 pounds since we didn't account for height.

3)A group of researchers were studying the weight of young girls from ages 10-14 and then created a model to explain the relationship of weight and age:

Weight = B0 + B1*Age + E

Researchers found that age and weight had a correlation of .50.

True or False: This means that age and weight have a weak linear relationship.
