*Following Galton, let us assume that the fathers and sons have heights that are dependent normal random variables. Assume that the average height is 68 inches, standard deviation is 2.7 inches, and the correlation coefficient is .5 (see Exercises 20 and 21). That is, assume that the heights of the fathers and sons have the form 2.7X+68 and 2.7Y+68, respectively, where X and Y are correlated standardized normal random variables, with correlation coefficient .5.
(a) What is the expected height for the son of a father whose height is 72 inches?
(b) Plot a scatter diagram of the heights of 1000 father and son pairs. Hint: You can choose standardized pairs as in Exercise 23 and then plot (2.7X+68,2.7Y+68).
