185 83.9
180 99.0
173 63.8
168 71.3
175 65.3
183 79.6

  1. Write out the regression equation.
  2. If you knew that the height of someone was 162.5, then calculate the weight of that person.
  3. What information do you look at in the output to determine whether there is a statistically significant relationship between height and weight in this sample?
