Problem 1
We tend to think that our height has something to do with the heights of our parents. Perhaps there is a linear relationship between a father’s height and the height of his son. Heights of father’s and their sons are included below. Use a 5% significance level to test the claim that there is a positive relationship between the heights.
Father H 70 69 64 71 68 66 74 73 62 69 67 68 72 66 72
Son’s H 62.5 64.6 69.1 73.9 67.1 64.4 71.1 71 67.4 69.3 64.9 68.1 66.5 67.5 66.5
