Researchers are interested in predicting the height of a child based on the heights of their mother and father. Data were collected, which included height of the child (height ), height of the mother ( mothersheight ), and height of the father (fathersheight ). The initial analysis used the heights of the parents to predict the height of the child (all units are inches). The results of the analysis, a multiple regression, are presented below. . regress height mothersheight fathersheight Source Model Residual Total height mothersheight fathersheight _cons SS 208.008457 314.295372 522.303829 df 2 37 Interpret the intercept of this model. 104.004228 8.49446952 Coef.
