Heights​ (cm) and weights​ (kg) are measured for 100 randomly selected adult​ males, and range from heights of 138 to 194 cm and weights of 39 to 150 kg. Let the predictor variable x be the first variable given. The 100 paired measurements yield x=167.48​cm, y=81.42kg, r=0.129​, P-value=0.201​, and y=−105+1.04x. Find the best-predicted value of y ​(weight) given an adult male who is 147 cm tall. Use a 0.10 significance level.   The best-predicted value of y for an adult male who is 147 cm tall is  _______kg. ​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
