Question 1011985: Can someone please help?
Suppose IQ scores were obtained from randomly selected twins. For 20 such pairs of​ people, the linear correlation coefficient is 0.793 and the equation of the regression line is ModifyingAbove y with caret equals 24.46 plus 0.75 xy=24.46+0.75x​, where x represents the IQ score of the twin born first twin born first. ​Also, the 20 x values have a mean of 106.43 and the 20 y values have a mean of 103.9. What is the best predicted IQ of the twin born second twin born second​, given that the twin born first twin born first has an IQ of 106? Use a significance level of 0.05.

The best predicted IQ of the twin born second twin born second is ___?
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)

I'll get you started on this.
1) Calculate the critical t-value (groups consist of < 30 members)
2) If the absolute value of the linear correlation coefficient (r) is > the critical t-value, a LINEAR CORRELATION EXISTS between
the 2 groups (younger and older twins) of IQs. Thus, the regression equation: ŷ, or y-hat+=+24.46+%2B+0.75x can be used to predict
the IQ of the younger twins (twins born second), by substituting the x-value 106 into the equation.
3) However, if the absolute value of the linear correlation coefficient (r) is ≤ the critical t-value, a LINEAR CORRELATION DOES NOT
exist between the 2 groups (younger and older twins) of IQs. Thus, the best predictor of y-hat or the younger twins' IQ is y:
the mean of the group: twin born second, or the younger twins (103.9)
