The data columns include: # # I, the index; # A0, 1; # A1, the weight; # A2, the age; # B, the blood fat content. # # We seek a model of the form: # # B = A0 * X0 + A1 * X1 + A2 * X2. # 5 columns 25 rows Index One Weight (kilograms) Age (Years) Blood fat content 1 1 84 46 354 2 1 73 20 190 3 1 65 52 405 4 1 70 30 263 5 1 76 57 451 6 1 69 25 302 7 1 63 28 288 8 1 72 36 385 9 1 79 57 402 10 1 75 44 365 11 1 27 24 209 12 1 89 31 290 13 1 65 52 346 14 1 57 23 254 15 1 59 60 395 16 1 69 48 434 17 1 60 34 220 18 1 79 51 374 19 1 75 50 308 20 1 82 34 220 21 1 59 46 311 22 1 67 23 181 23 1 85 37 274 24 1 55 40 303 25 1 63 30 244
