If you are asked to estimate the weight of a STAT 800 student, what will you use as a point estimate?

 

 

Now, if I tell you that the height of the student is 70 inches, can you give a better estimate of the person's weight?

 

 

\begin{align} \hat{\pi} &= \dfrac{\exp(7.2450-0.1940 \times 24-6.9267 \times 0+0.1616\times 0)}{1+\exp(7.2450-0.1940 \times 24-6.9267 \times 0+0.1616\times 0)} \\ &= 0.930 \end{align}
