The following data were collected on the height (inches) and weight (pounds) of women swimmers.

Height 68 64 62 65 66 Weight 132 108 102 115 128

a. Develop a scatter diagram for these data with height as the independent variable.

b. What does the scatter diagram developed in part

(a) indicate about the relationship between the two variables?

c. Try to approximate the relationship between height and weight by drawing a straight line through the data.

d. Develop the estimated regression equation by computing the values of b0 and b1.

e. If a swimmer’s height is 63 inches, what would you estimate her weight to be?
