Researchers conducted a study of obesity in children. They measured body mass index (BMI), which is a measure of weight relative to height. High BMI is an indication of obesity. Data from a study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association shows a fairly strong positive linear association between mother’s BMI and daughter’s BMI (r = 0.506). This means that obese mothers tend to have obese daughters.

1. Based on this study, what proportion of the variation in the daughter BMI measurements is explained by the mother BMI measurements?
2. What are some of the other variables that explain the variability in the daughter BMI?
