Question

(1 point) Heights (in centimeters) and weights (in kilograms) of 7 supermodels are given below. Find the regression equation, letting the first variable be the independent (x) variable, and predict the weight of a supermodel who is 177 cm tall.

Height -172 & 166 & 168 & 176 & 178 & 174 & 172
Weight -52 & 47 & 50 & 55 & 58 & 54 & 53

Answer 1

The regression equation: y = a + bx

y is the dependent variable and x is the independent variable.
a is the y-intercept and b is the slope of the line.

Using the given data, I computed for the value of a and b. Pls. see attachment
