Problem 5

A random sample of 130130 male engineering students is obtained, and their heights are measured in inches and centimeters. From the regression analysis, the predicted height for a student who is 70 70\(\text{ }\)inches tall is found to be 177.8 cm177.8\(\text{ cm}\). The sum of squared residuals from the regression is 42.25 cm2\(\text{42.25 cm}\)^2.
i. What is the value of the standard error of estimate (SESE)?
ii. For a student whose height is 7070 inches, what is the 95%95\% prediction interval?
