The BODYFAT dataset was developed using randomly selected patients who were treated by a particular sports injury rehabilitation group. The purpose was to determine if girth (in centimeters) could be used to predict body fat (as a percentage) and to estimate the percentage of body fat (with 99% confidence) of a person who has a girth of 150cm. Girth is easily and accurately evaluated with a tape measure. Body fat percentage is measured via hydrostatic weighing, but this is too expensive and impractical to be easily deployed in most physicians' offices. Please conduct this analysis using a 1% significance level.
