Predictor Coef SE Coef T P
Constant 0.8489 0.4148 2.06 0.84
Weight 0.39782 0.02978 13.52 0.000
S = 0.517508 R-Sq = 96.6%      
(a) Write out the least-squares equation.
 =  +  x

(b) For each 1 kilogram increase in weight, how much does the metabolic rate of a child increase? (Use 5 decimal places.)


(c) What is the value of the correlation coefficient r? (Use 3 decimal places.)
