Question

The accompanying technology output was obtained by using the paired data consisting of foot lengths​ (cm) and heights​ (cm) of a sample of 40 people. Along with the paired sample​ data, the technology was also given a foot length of 21.4 cm to be used for predicting height. The technology found that there is a linear correlation between height and foot length. If someone has a foot length of 21.4 ​cm, what is the single value that is the best-predicted height for that​ person?
