A nonzero intercept seems appropriate # here, since even a very young person can have a high blood pressure. # # There are 30 rows of data. The data columns include: # # I, the index; # A0, 1, # A1, the age; # B, the systolic blood pressure. # # We seek a model of the form: # # B = A0 * X0 + A1 * X1 # 4 columns 30 rows Index One Age Systolic Blood Pressure 1 1 39 144 2 1 47 220 3 1 45 138 4 1 47 145 5 1 65 162 6 1 46 142 7 1 67 170 8 1 42 124 9 1 67 158 10 1 56 154 11 1 64 162 12 1 56 150 13 1 59 140 14 1 34 110 15 1 42 128 16 1 48 130 17 1 45 135 18 1 17 114 19 1 20 116 20 1 19 124 21 1 36 136 22 1 50 142 23 1 39 120 24 1 21 120 25 1 44 160 26 1 53 158 27 1 63 144 28 1 29 130 29 1 25 125 30 1 69 175
