Explanation / Answer
We are given data of child and midparent.
Dependent variable : Midparent
Independent variable : Child
Here we have to fit regression of midparent on child.
We can fit regression in MINITAB.
steps :
ENTER data into MINITAB sheet --> STAT --> Regression --> Regression --> Response : Midparent --> Predictors : Child--> Results : select second option --> ok --> ok
Regression Analysis: midparent versus Child
The regression equation is
midparent = 46.1 + 0.326 Child
Predictor Coef SE Coef T P
Constant 46.135 1.412 32.67 0.000
Child 0.32565 0.02073 15.71 0.000
S = 1.589 R-Sq = 21.0% R-Sq(adj) = 21.0%

Residual Error 926 2338.10 2.52
Total 927 2961.36
c.1: What are the numerical value and physical units of the s variable in the regression analysis output?
S is known both as the standard error of the regression and as the standard error of the estimate.
S represents the average distance that the observed values fall from the regression line. Conveniently, it tells you how wrong the regression model is on average using the units of the response variable. Smaller values are better because it indicates that the observations are closer to the fitted line.
c.2: Interpret the meaning of s.
S is 1.589, which tells us that the average distance of the data points from the fitted line is about 1.589% Midparent.
c.3: Explain why the s variable is important
In many cases, I prefer the standard error of the regression over R-squared. I love the practical, intuitiveness of using the natural units of the response variable. And, if I need precise predictions, I can quickly check S to assess the precision.
Conversely, the unit-less R-squared doesn’t provide an intuitive feel for how close the predicted values are to the observed values. Further, as I detailed here, R-squared is relevant mainly when you need precise predictions. However, you can’t use R-squared to assess the precision, which ultimately leaves it unhelpful.
c.4: What are the value and physical units of the slope parameter 1hat? c.5: Provide a complete interpretation of the slope parameter
Slope = coefficient of Child in regression equation = 0.326
Interpretation : For one unit change in Child will be 0.326 unit increase in Midparent.
