The table shows some data from a sample of heights of fathers and their sons. The scatterplot (not shown) suggests a linear trend.

a. Find and report the regression equation for predicting the son€™s height from the father€™s height. Then predict the height of a son with a father 74 inches tall. Also predict the height of a son of a father who is 65 inches tall.

b. Find and report the regression equation for predicting the father€™s height from the son€™s height. Then predict a father€™s height from that of a son who is 74 inches tall and also predict a father€™s height from that of a son who is 65 inches tall.

c. What phenomenon does this show?
