    The relationship between weight (in kilograms) and gender was estimated as below in a linear format. (Male was coded as 0 and Female was coded as 1.)   Weight = -10.23 * Female + 66.73 (The p-value for the coefficient of Female is 0.03.)   Base on the above equation, which of the following statements are true? (Select all that apply. There can be more than one answer.) Answer options: In the sample used to estimate the equation, the average weight of females is 66.23 kilograms In the sample used to estimate the equation, the average weight of females is 56.5 kilograms In the sample used to estimate the equation, the average weight of males is 66.73 kilograms Females are expected to weigh 10.23 kilograms less than males
