The regression coefficient has a convenient interpretation: a one-unit increase in the independent variable (height) is associated with an increase of 4.5 units in the dependent variable (weight). For our data sample, this means that a 1-inch increase in height is associated with a 4.5 pound increase in weight. Thus, if we had no other information, our best guess for the weight of a person who is 5 feet 10 inches tall (70 inches) in the Changing Lives study would be –135 + 4.5 (70) = 180 pounds.
