Regression line of son height

Reference no: EM131028471

In the Pearson-Lee data, the average height of the fathers was 67.7 inches; the SD was 2.74 inches. The average height of the sons was 68.7 inches; the SD was 2.81 inches. The correlation was 0.501.

(a) True or false and explain: because the sons average an inch taller than the fathers, if the father is 72 inches tall, it's 50-50 whether the son is taller than 73 inches.

(b) Find the regression line of son's height on father's height, and its RMS error.
