A veterinarian collects data about puppies in her practice. She makes a scatterplot with their age in days on the horizontal axis and weight in ounces (oz) on the vertical axis and sees that the scatterplot is football shaped. The average age of the puppies is 42 day, with an SD of 7 days. The average weight is 25 oz, with an SD of 5 oz. The correlation is moderately strong, with r = 0.7. 4. (a) The age of two puppies differ by 20 days. The difference in their weight is predicted to be oz. (b) The baseline prediction for the weight of puppies ignores their age and just uses the information from all puppies. The baseline predicted weight is oz and the RMS error for this prediction is o.
