EXAMPLE 10.3

Statistical software output for BMI and physical activity. Figure 10.4 gives the outputs from three commonly used statistical software packages and Excel. Other software will give similar information. The SPSS output reports estimates of our three parameters as b₀ = 29.578, b₁ = −0.655, and s = 3.6549. Be sure that you can find these values in this output and the corresponding values in the other outputs.
