a) Create and display a scatter chart (in Excel) for Body fat (Y axis) and skinfold (x-axis)

b) Create and display a scatter chart (in Excel) for Body fat (Y axis) and thigh (x-axis)

c) Create and display a scatter chart (in Excel) for Body fat (Y axis) and midarm (x-axis)

d) What does each of these charts suggest?

e) Run a correlation for each combination of the data (each independent variable with the dependent variable).

f) What do the correlations for each combination suggest?

Run a multiple regression (in Excel) with body fat as the dependent variable and skinfold, midram and thigh as independent variables. Show the results. Comment on the predictive value of the results.
