:12b. Solution. 71 inches is (71 - 68)/3 = 1 SD above average. So sample persons 71 inches tall have an average weight 0.6 x 1 = .6 SD's above average, that is, 120 + (.6 x 20) = 132 pounds. The SD of the weights of these people is the rms average deviation from the regression line, or 16 pounds. Thus the percentage of those who weigh between 116 and 148 pounds is the area under the normal curve between -1 and 1, or 68%.
