(f) Notice that two children are 26 inches tall. One has a head circumference of 17.3 inches; the other has a head circumference of 17.5 inches. How can this be?
OA. The only explanation is that the difference is due to the fact that one observation was of a boy, and one observation was of a girl.
OB. The only explanation is that the difference was caused by measurement error.
O C. For children with a height of 26 inches, head circumferences vary.

(g) Would it be reasonable to use the least-squares regression line to predict the head circumference of a child who was 32 inches tall? Why?
A. No-this height is not possible.
B. Yes-the calculated model can be used for any child's height.
OC. No-this height is outside the scope of the model.
O D. Yes-this height is possible and within the scope of the model.
OE. More information regarding the child is necessary to make the decision.
