    This document provides data on the heights of fathers and sons in centimeters. It finds the line of regression and calculates the expected average height of a son when the father's height is 154cm. The line of regression is y = 0.56x + 70.697. Plugging 154cm in for x gives an expected average son height of 156.937cm.

    Answer on Question #43725-Math-Statistics and Probability

    Heights of fathers and sons are given in centimeters.

    Height of father (x)

    150 152 155 157 160 161 164 166

    Height of son (y)

    154 156 158 159 160 162 161 164

    Find the line of regression and calculate the expected average height of the son when the height of the
    father is 154cm.

    Solution

    Let 160 and 159 be assumed means of 𝑥 and 𝑦. Using the given data, we get the following table:

    𝑥 𝑦 𝑋 = 𝑥 − 160 𝑌 = 𝑦 − 159 𝑋2 𝑌2 𝑋𝑌
    150 154 -10 -5 100 25 50
    152 156 -8 -3 64 9 24
    155 158 -5 -1 25 1 5
    157 159 -3 0 9 0 0
    160 160 0 1 0 1 0
    161 162 1 3 1 9 3
    164 161 4 2 16 4 8
    166 164 6 5 36 25 30

    ∑ 𝑋 = −15 ∑𝑌 = 2 ∑ 𝑋 2 = 251 ∑ 𝑌 2 = 74 ∑ 𝑋𝑌 = 120


    ∑𝑋 15
    𝑥̅ = 160 + = 160 − = 158.13
    𝑛 8
    ∑𝑌 2
    𝑦̅ = 159 + = 159 + = 159.25
    𝑛 8

    Since regression coefficients are independent of change of origin, we have regression coefficient of 𝑦 on 𝑥.

    𝑛 ∑ 𝑋𝑌 − ∑ 𝑋 ∑ 𝑌 8 ∙ 120 − (−15) ∙ 2
    𝑏𝑦𝑥 = 𝑏𝑌𝑋 = = = 0.56
    𝑛 ∑ 𝑋 2 − (∑ 𝑋)2 8 ∙ 251 − (−15)2

    Equation of a line of regression of 𝑦 on 𝑥 is

    𝑦 − 𝑦̅ = 𝑏𝑦𝑥 (𝑥 − 𝑥̅ )

    𝑦 − 159.25 = 0.56(𝑥 − 158.13)

    𝑦 = 0.56𝑥 + 70.697.

    When 𝑥 = 154

    𝑦 = 0.56(154) + 70.697 = 156.937.

    Answer: 𝒚 = 𝟎. 𝟓𝟔𝒙 + 𝟕𝟎. 𝟔𝟗𝟕; 𝒚 = 𝟏𝟓𝟔. 𝟗𝟑𝟕.
