Question

Suppose IQ scores were obtained from randomly selected couples. For 20 such pairs of people, the linear correlation coefficient is 0.840, and the equation of the regression line is y=10.9+0.88x, where x represents the IQ score of the wife. Also, the 20 x values havea mean of 99.23 and the 20 y values have a mean of 98.7. What is the best predicted IQ of the husband, given that the wife has an IQ of 91? Use a significance level of 0.05.

The best predicted IQ of the husband is ___.

(Round to 2 decimal places as needed.)

Explanation / Answer

We don't need so much information since you provided the regression line. The iq of the husband whose wife has a iq of 91 is given by

y=10.9+(.88*91)=90.08
