Question

The equation used to predict the total body weight (in pounds) of a female athlete at a certain school is

ModifyingAbove y with caret equals negative 112 plus 2.96 x 1 plus 1.97 x 2y=112+2.96x1+1.97x2, where x1 is the female athlete's height (in inches) and x2 is the female athlete's percent body fat, measured as x2%. Use the multiple regression equation to predict the total body weight for a female athlete who is 61 inches tall and has 28% body fat.

The predicted total body weight for a female athlete who is 61 inches tall and has 28% body fat is

Explanation / Answer

y=112+2.96x1+1.97x2

for x1= 61 inches tall and x2=28, we get y=-112+2.96*61+1.97*28 =123.72 (just input these values in equation given)
