The best prediction of Riley’s height is 65.84 inches and it can be determined by using the linear regression equation.
Bryce wrote the linear regression equation,
[tex]\rm y=1.123x-6.443[/tex]
To predict the arm span, y, of a person who is x inches tall.
Riley has an arm span of 67.5 inches.
Which is the best prediction of Riley’s height?
To predict the arm span, y, of a person who is x inches tall.
Riley has an arm span of 67.5 inches.
[tex]\rm y=1.123x-6.443[/tex]
Where the arm span, y, of a person who is x inches tall.
Riley has an arm span of 67.5 inches,
Then,
The best prediction of Riley’s height is,
[tex]\rm 67.5 = 1.123x -6.443\\\\67.5+6.443=1.123x\\\\ 73.943 = 1.123x\\\\ x = \dfrac{73.943}{1.123}\\\\ x = 65.84 \ inches[/tex]
Hence, The best prediction of Riley’s height is 65.84 inches.
