Data Set 6-2 The correlation between a score based on anthropometric measurements (height, strength, reaction time and others) and college GPA is .05. Your task will be to predict GPA, given the anthro measurements. Be sure you set this up properly and work precisely. (Use 3 or 4 decimal places.) Mean 2.5 10 Standard Deviation 0.5 2 -Based on Data Set 6-2, predict a GPA for a person whose anthro data score was 15.

Your task will be to predict GPA, given the anthro measurements. Be sure you set this up properly and work precisely. (Use 3 or 4 decimal places.) Mean 2.5 10 Standard Deviation 0.5 2 -See Data Set 6-2. Suppose an excellent statistician used linear regression to predict the GPA for a person whose anthropometric score was 15. How likely is it that such a person would actually get the GPA predicted for her?
