Problem 2
Is age a predictor of male waist sizes? As men age their metabolism slows, so it makes sense that as men age there waist lines expand. Use the data below and a 1% significance level to test for a positive linear relationship between age and waist circumference (in cm).
Age 58 22 32 31 28 46 41 56 20 54 17 73 52 25
Waist 90.6 78.1 96.5 87.7 87.1 92.4 78.8 103.3 89.1 82.5 86.7 103.3 91.8 75.6
