Explanation:

Given data,

Term Co eff

Constant 105.08

Foot length 2.599

Solving the problem for the given data

Frame the equation,

X= constant+ foot length ( foot length of 20 cm)

X=105.08+2.55(a)

Where X denotes the predicated height

a denotes the foot length 20 cm

X=105.08+2.55(20)

X=157.06

The residual computed is given as

Z denotes the residual component

Z=Y-X

Z=160-157.06

Z=2.94 cm

Interpretation:

The vertical distance between a senior student with a height of 160 cm and his estimated height of 157.06 cm is 2.94 cm
