Question 4.290

body_females

89. Now run a regression of bicep girth on thigh girth for the men. State the regression equation in words. Interpret the slope and intercept values.

4.3.89

Bicep girth_1 = 8.12 + 0.4651 Hip girth_1. . The predicted bicep girth of a man is 0.4651 times his thigh girth plus 8.12. means that for each increase of 1 centimeter in a man's thigh girth the predicted bicep girth increases by 0.4651 centimeter. means that the predicted bicep girth of a man with a thigh girth of centimeters is 8.12 centimeters.
