Answer 1

Answer:

0.487 kg

b.) the newborn weighs 0.487kg more than the weight predicted by the regression equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the Regression equation:

Weight = - 5.58 + 0.1686 length

Length of newborn = 48 cm

Actual Weight of newborn = 3kg

Predicted weight from regression model:

Weight = - 5.58 + 0.1686(48)

Predicted Weight = 2.513kg

Hence, residual = (Actual - predicted)

Residual = (3kg - 2.513kg) = 0.487kg

Since the actual weight is more or greater than the predicted weight:

b.) the newborn weighs 0.487kg more than the weight predicted by the regression equation
