The linear regression Equation 4.4Table II) describes the data. Arrows point to
two subjects whose weight: height rauos were exceptionally high and whoappear
to the far right of the population scatter shown in Figures | and 2. Data-_relating
.
to these two subjects are marked by ¢ in Table I.

there is no reasomrto suppose that the regression

For predicting ‘‘normal” volumes in individual
cases, the graphic representation of the regression

closely to one or another combination of height
