Researchers hoping to find ways to make a good estimate of
a​ person's body fat percentage immersed 20 male subjects
in​ water, then measured their waists and recorded their
weights. The results are shown in the accompanying table. The
linear model used to predict​ % Body Fat from Weight has
R2=51.3​% and se=6.8​%. Would a model that uses the​ person's
Waist size be able to predict the​ % Body Fat more accurately
than one that uses​ Weight? Create and analyze that model.
Regression line= -60.78+2.16(waist)
For the model that uses​ Waist, the value of R2 is BLANK ,
which is GREATER THAN/LESS THAN
that of the model that uses​ Weight, and the value of se
BLANK which is GREATER THAN/LESS THAN
that of the model that uses Weight. This suggests that the model
that uses the​ person's Waist size
able to predict​ % Body Fat more accurately than one that
uses Weight.
