Question

Taller basketball players have a theoretical shooting advantage because it’s harder to block them. But can a player’s height determine how well they shoot free throws, where there is no defender?

Player Height (cm)	Free Throw Shooting Percentage
188	74%
208	80%
186	75%
190	76%
211	85%
205	90%
214	88%
200	80%

a) Determine the coefficient of determination and interpret its value.

b) What is the equation of the regression line? Keep three decimal places for calculated values.

c) Estimate the percentage of free throws a 200cm tall player will make.
