Heights of Fathers and Sons
The table shows some data from a sample of heights of fathers and their sons. The scatterplot (not shown) suggests a linear trend.
a. Find and report the regression equation for predicting the son's height from the father's height. Then predict the height of a son with a father 74 inches tall. Also predict the height of a son of a father who is 65 inches tall.
b. Find and report the regression equation for predicting the father's height from the son's height. Then predict a father's height from that of a son who is 74 inches tall and also predict a father's height from that of a son who is 65 inches tall.
c. What phenomenon does this show?
