Question

Suppose that researchers obtain a random sample of adults ages 18 – 40 and collect data on the following variables: 

shoe size – in inches 

age – in years 

height – in inches 

forearm length – in inches 

Suppose further that a multiple linear regression model is fit to the resulting data set using R Studio and that the following output is obtained from it. Use this output to answer the question that follows: 

> summary(lm(shoesize ~ age + height + forearm, data = measures))
Coefficients:

(Intercept)
age
height
forearm
