Height and Weight of 10 Males

Determine the weight and height of 8 to 10 adult males.

Before you begin analyzing the data, begin your project report by predicting whether or not you think weight and height are highly correlated. Explain why you might expect this.

Using a statistical package or a graphing calculator produce a scatterplot for your data set and find the "best fit'' line.

Interpret the R² value for this line. Does the data support your hypothesis that you made about weight and height? Explain.

Use the equation of the least-squares line to predict the height of Shaquille O'Neal given that he weighs approximately 300 lbs.

How close is your prediction to Shaquille's actual height? Explain what factors might have influenced the reliability of your prediction.
