Suppose that a random sample of 212 twenty-year-old men is selected from a population and that their heights and weights are recorded. A regression of weight on height yields Weight = (- 105.3746) + 4.1764 x Height, R = 0.859, S (2.2790 ) (0.3286) %3D %3D where Weight is measured in pounds and Height is measured in inches. A man has a late growth spurt and grows 1.5900 inches over the course of a year. Construct a confidence interval of 80% for the person's weight gain. The 80% confidence interval for the person's weight gain is )(in pounds). (Round your responses to two decimal places.)

Suppose that a random sample of 212 twenty-year-old men is selected froma
population and that their heights and weights are recorded A regressiIon of
weight on height yields
Weight = (-105.3746) + 4.1764 × Height R30 859 S
(2.2790) (0.3286)
where Weight is measured in pounds and Height is measured in inches
A man has a late growth spurt and grows 1.5900 inches over the course of a
year. Construct a confidence interval of 80% for the person's weight gain.
The 80% confidence interval for the person's weight gain is ( in
pounds). (Round your responses to two decimal places.)
