Question

The arm span and foot length were both measured (in centimeters) for each of 20 students in a biology class. The computer output displays the regression analysis.
Which of the following is the best interpretation of the standard deviation of the residuals?

The typical arm span is 161 centimeters.
The typical foot length is 16.1 centimeters.
The typical distance between the observed and predicted arm spans is 1.61 centimeters.
The typical distance between the observed and predicted foot lengths is 1.61 centimeters.

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer should have a 63%.

It's probably D. The terminology is a little confusing.

The equation of the output looks like:

-7.611 + .186(x) = y

x --> Arm span

y --> Foot span

The linear relationship is formed with the armspan.
