• The estimated slope is 6.1, which implies that girls in this population between the ages of 5 and 18 are predicted to grow about 6.1 centimeters in heights for each year they grow older.

• The estimated y-intercept is 50.3 centimeters. We can conclude from the intercept that the typical height of girls in this population at birth is 50.3 cm.

• A 10-year-old girl in this population is at least 110.3 cm tall.

• One particular 8-year-old girl is 115 cm tall. She is shorter than expected for girls her age in this population.

• For every 1 degree C increase in temperature, fish activity is predicted to increase by 4.785 units.

• The typical distance of the temperature readings from their mean is about 4.785 degrees C.

• The typical distance of the activity level ratings from the least-squares regression line is about 4.785 units.

• The typical distance of the activity-level ratings from their mean is about 4.785 units.
