Question
Use the shoe print lengths and heights shown below to find the regression​ equation, letting shoe print lengths be the predictor​ (x) variable. Then find the best predicted height of a male who has a shoe print length of
28.5
cm. Would the result be helpful to police crime scene investigators in trying to describe the​ male? Use a significance level of
α=0.05.

Would the result be​ helpful?
 
 
A.
​No, because the description would be the same regardless of shoe print length.
 
B.
​Yes, because the description would be based on an actual shoe print length.
 
C.
​Yes, because the correlation is​ strong, so the predicted height should be very accurate.
 
D.
​No, because the correlation is​ weak, so the predicted height would only be within
±2
cm.
