ANSWER ONLY letter D & E. Linear Regression and Correlation Problem1. One of the more challenging problems confronting the water pollution control fieldis presented by the tanning industry. Tannery wastes are chemically complex. Theyare characterized by high values of biochemical oxygen demand, volatile solids, andother pollution measures. A study conducted by Virginia Polytechnic Institute andState University measured the percent reduction in total solids (x) and percentreduction in chemical oxygen demand (y) of 33 samples of chemically treated waste.Table 11.1: Measures of Reduction in Solids and Oxygen DemandSolids Reduction,a (%)3Oxygen DemandReduction, y (%)5Solids Reduction,1 (%)36Oxygen DemandReduction, y (%)34711373611213838151639371816393627283945292740393025414130354240313042443140433732324444333445463332464634344749363750513638a.

Olympic Pole Vault The graph in Figure 7 indicates that in recent years the winning Olympic men’s pole vault height has fallen below the value predicted by the regression line in Example 2. This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177. Has this new regression line provided a better prediction than the line in Example 2?
Suppose a study wants to predict the market price of a certain species of turtle (Y) based on the following independent variables indicated in the table.

For Problems, presume that the variables student-to-faculty ratio and graduation rate satisfy the assumptions for regression inferences.Graduation Rates. Refer to Problem. At the 2.5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the variables student-to-faculty ratio and graduation rate are positively linearly correlated?ProblemsApplying the Concepts and SkillsGraduation Rates. Graduation rate—the percentage of entering freshmen attending full time and graduating within 5 years— and what influences it is a concern in U.S. colleges and universities. U.S. News and World Report’s “College Guide” provides data on graduation rates for colleges and universities as a function of the percentage of freshmen in the top 10% of their high school class, total spending per student, and student-to-faculty ratio. A random sample of 10 universities gave the following data on student-to-faculty ratio (S/F ratio) and graduation rate (Grad rate). S/F ratio x Grad rate y…
