From the data in Discussion I (reproduced here), compute the regression equation for predicting the percentage of births of infants weighing under 2500 grams (Y) on the basis of fertility rate for females whose ages are <17 or >35 years of age (X₁). (X₁ is known as the "high risk fertility rate.")

a. Calculate the standard error of estimate for the regression equation.

b. What percentage of birth weights is predicted from a fertility birth rate for females age 40?

c. How would your knowledge of regression contribute to your understanding of the behavioral outcomes of low birth weight?
