Full marks are not necessarily awarded for a correct answer with no working. Answers must be
supported by working and/or explanations. Solutions found from a graphic display calculator should be
supported by suitable working. For example, if graphs are used to find a solution, you should sketch
these as part of your answer. Where an answer is incorrect, some marks may be given for a correct
method, provided this is shown by written working. You are therefore advised to show all working

Ina study, measurements for arm span, Acm, and foot length, Fem, are taken from a large
group of adults,
For this group, the regression line of F on A is found to be = 0.3354 - 32.6, and
the regression line of 4 on F is found to be 4 = 2.89F'+ 99,3. Each regression line passes
through the mean point.
() By using an appropriate regression line, find an estimate of the arm span for an adult
with a foot length of 19.8.cm 2]
(b) For this group of adults, find the mean arm span and the mean foot length. (3)
