Write the equation of the regression model.

A) Weight = -285.21 - 1.3838 Age - 11.24 Head Width + 28.594 Neck
B) Weight = 78.45 - 0.9022 Age - 20.88 Head Width + 5.870 Neck
C) Weight = 132425- 44142 Age - 41.81 Head Width + 0.002 Neck
D) Weight = -285.21 + 78.45 Age - 3.64 Head Width + 0.022 Neck
E) Weight = -3.64 - 1.53 Age - 0.54 Head Width + 4.87 Neck

Regression Model

A statistical technique that models and analyzes the relationships between dependent and independent variables.

Head Width

The measurement across the widest part of an individual's head, often used in anthropometric research.

Neck

The part of a person's or animal's body connecting the head to the rest of the body.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The correct equation of a regression model typically includes a constant term and coefficients for each variable that represent the relationship between the dependent variable (in this case, Weight) and each of the independent variables (Age, Head Width, Neck). Choice A is the most plausible as it follows the general structure of a regression equation, with a constant term and coefficients for each variable that seem reasonable for a model predicting weight based on age, head width, and neck circumference.
