Ideal weight. Dr. J. D. Robinson also published the following estimate of the ideal body weight of a man:

52 kg + 1.9 kg for each inch over 5 ft

(A) Find a linear model for Robinson’s estimate of the ideal weight of a man using w for ideal body weight (in kilograms) and h for height over 5 ft (in inches).

(B) Interpret the slope of the model.

(C) If a man is 5’8” tall, what does the model predict his weight to be?

(D) If a man weighs 70 kg, what does the model predict his height to be?
