Heights (cm) and weights (kg) are measured for 100 randomly selected adult males, and range from heights of 135 to 190 cm and weights of 41 to 150 kg. Let the predictor variable x be the first variable given. The 100 paired measurements yield x = 167.74 cm, y = 81.32 kg, r= 0.388, P-value = 0.000, and y = - 105+ 1.18x. Find the best predicted value of y (weight) given an adult male who is 176 cm tall. Use a 0.05 significance level. The best predicted value of y for an adult male who is 176 cm tall is kg. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Question
Heights (cm) and weights (kg) are measured for 100 randomly selected adult males, and range from heights of 135 to 190 cm and weights of 41 to 150 kg. Let the predictor
variable x be the first variable given. The 100 paired measurements yield x = 167.74 cm, y= 81.32 kg, r= 0.388, P-value = 0.000, and y = - 105+ 1.18x. Find the best predicted
value of y (weight) given an adult male who is 176 cm tall. Use a 0.05 significance level.
The best predicted value of y for an adult male who is 176 cm tall is
kg.
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
