Given the data on shoulder girth and height of a group of individuals:

- Mean shoulder girth: 107.20 cm
- Standard deviation of shoulder girth: 10.37 cm
- Mean height: 171.14 cm
- Standard deviation of height: 9.41 cm
- Correlation between height and shoulder girth: 0.67

Write the equation of the regression line for predicting height.

Answer :

The equation of the regression line for predicting height based on shoulder girth is:y = 103.82 + 0.607x, which mean that for every one-unit increase in shoulder girth, the predicted height increase by 0.607 units.

Since the equation of the regression line for predicting height based on shoulder girth can be written as: y = a + bx, where y is the predicted height, x is the shoulder girth, a is the y-intercept, and b is the slope of the regression line.

To find the values of a and b, we need to use the following formulas:

b = r(Sy/Sx)

a = ybar - b(xbar), where r is the correlation coefficient between height and shoulder girth, Sy is the standard deviation of height, Sx is the standard deviation of shoulder girth, ybar is the mean height, and x bar is the mean shoulder girth. now substituting the values we get :

b = 0.67(9.41/10.37) ≈ 0.607

a = 171.14 - 0.607(107.20) ≈ 103.82
