Use computer software to obtain the regression equation. Use the estimated equation to find the predicted value
-A wildlife analyst gathered the data in the table to develop an equation to predict the weights of bears. He used WEIGHT as the dependent variable and CHEST, LENGTH, and SEX as the independent variables. For SEX, he used male = 1 and female = 2. He took his equation "to the forest" and found a male bear whose chest measured 40.3 inches and who was 64.0 inches long. $\begin{array}{cccc}\hline\text { WEIGHT } & \text { CHEST } & \text { LENGTH } & \text { SEX } \\\hline 344 & 45.0 & 67.5 & 1 \\416 & 54.0 & 72.0 & 1 \\220 & 41.0 & 70.0 & 2 \\360 & 49.0 & 68.5 & 1 \\332 & 44.0 & 73.0 & 1 \\140 & 32.0 & 63.0 & 2 \\436 & 48.0 & 72.0 & 1 \\132 & 33.0 & 61.0 & 2 \\356 & 48.0 & 64.0 & 2 \\150 & 35.0 & 59.0 & 1 \\202 & 40.0 & 63.0 & 2 \\365 & 50.0 & 70.5 & 1\\\hline\end{array}$
