Heights (cm) and weights (kg) are measured for 100 randomly selected adult males, and range from heights of 138 to 191 cm and weights of 39 to 150 kg. Let the predictor variable x be the first variable given. The 100 paired measurements yield x= 167.92 cm, y=81.52 kg, r=0.408, P-value=0.000, and y=-102 +1.02x Find the best predicted value of y (weight) given an adult male who is 179 cm tall. Use a 0.10 significance level.
