To find the predicted number of calories burned in a minute of walking for a 180 pound person using the given regression equation ŷ = 1.0 + .06x, where x represents weight in pounds, you need to substitute x with the weight of the person.
In this case, the weight of the person is 180 pounds. Therefore, substitute x with 180 in the equation:
ŷ = 1.0 + .06(180)
ŷ = 1.0 + 10.8
ŷ = 11.8
The predicted number of calories burned in a minute of walking for a 180 pound person is 11.8 calories.
