The accompanying table lists systolic blood pressures (mm Hg) and diastolic blood pressures (mm Hg) of adult females. Find the prediction interval for a systolic blood pressure of 121mm Hg using a 99% confidence level. There is sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear correlation, so it is reasonable to use the regression equation when making predictions.

If a 95 percent confidence interval is constructed for the slope of the population regression line, which of the following is a condition that must be checked? A)The true relationship between heart rate and maximal oxygen uptake is linear. B)The correlation between heart rate and maximal oxygen uptake is not equal to zero.
