A regression analysis between weight $$y$$ (in kilograms) and height $$x$$ (in centimetres) yielded the least squares line
= 135 + 6 $$x$$ . We estimate that for each 1 cm in height, that weight will cedrease by 6 kilograms, on average.

Question

A regression analysis between weight $$y$$ (in kilograms) and height $$x$$ (in centimetres) yielded the least squares line 
 = 135 + 6 $$x$$ . We estimate that for each 1 cm in height, that weight will cedrease by 6 kilograms, on average.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement in the question should be reversed. The least squares line indicates that weight will increase by 6 kilograms for each 1 cm increase in height.
