Use the multiple regression equation to predict the total body weight for a female athlete who is 66 inches tall and has 30% body fat. The predicted total body weight for a female athlete who is 66 inches tall and has 30% body fat is pounds. (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Explanation / Answer

Here the multiple regreassion model given is

y^ = -114+ 2.94x1 + 1.44x2

So here

X1 =66 inches

X2 = 30%

Putting value in the equation we get the predicted value of yotal body weight is

y^ = -114 + 2.94 * 66 + 1.44 *30 = 123.24 pounds
