In this Exercise 14.51, we repeat the information from Exercise 14.15.
a. Decide, at the significance level, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that is useful for predicting :
b. Find a confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line.

Identify two graphs used in a residual analysis to check the Assumptions 1-3 for regression inferences, and explain the reasoning behind their use:
Body Fat. In the paper "Total Body Composition by Dual-Photon ( ) Absorptiometry" (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol.40,pp.834-839), R. Mazess et al. studied methods for quantifying body composition. Eighteen randomly selected adults were measured for percentage of body fat, using dual-photon absorptiometry. Each adult's age and percentage of body fat are shown on the WeissStats site.
a. Decide whether you can reasonably apply the regression -test. If so, then also do part (b).
b. Decide, at the significance level, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the predictor variable is useful for predicting the response variable.
In Exercises 14.12-14.21, we repeat the data and provide the sample regression equations for Exercises 4.48 -4.57.
a. Determine the standard error of the estimate.
b. Construct a residual plot.
c. Construct a normal probability plot of the residuals.

Following are the data on age of fetuses and length of crown-rump.usepresuming that the assumption for regression inference are met, decide at the specified significance level whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the predictor variable is useful for providing the response variable.
