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?
The relationship between sleep hours and overall happiness level on the next day was estimated as below in a linear format. (Happiness level is measured through a five-point scale: 1 = Extremely unhappy, 5 = Extremely happy) Overall happiness level = 0.27 * Sleep hours + 2.34 (The p-value for the coefficient of Sleep hours is 0.02.) Based on this equation, what is the expected happiness level of a person on a certain day, when he slept 7 hours the day before?
Assume we have data demonstrating a strong linear link between the amount of fertilizer applied to certain plants and their yield. Which is the independent variable in this research question?
A researcher is surprised at the low Pearson Product Moment correlation coefficient between the heights and weights of the members of the woman’s basketball team at his college. He should have realized a. that he had several outliers and that reduced the correlation b. the range of heights was restricted and that reduced the correlation c. the relationship was curvilinear and could not be detected by the Pearson Product Moment correlation d. Height does not cause weight
In a study conducted recently, the body weight of youth wresting team in Mongolia are found to be as follows: Body weight Class(kg) Frequency (Wrestlers) 70 < X ≤ 80 5 80 < X ≤ 90 14 90 < X ≤ 100 21 100 < X ≤ 110 26 110 < X ≤ 120 35 120 < X ≤ 130 23 130 < X ≤ 140 18 140 < X ≤ 150 15 150 < X ≤ 160 7 Construct an Ogive curve reflecting the above data. Approximately what percentage of the wrestlers weigh less than 130kg? Approximately what percentage of the wrestlers weigh between 85kg and 145kg Approximately what is the body weight of the top 30% youth wrestlers?

A group of students participated in an experiment to study the association between resting heart rate and exercise heart rate under various exercise conditions. Study participants stepped at a frequency of 14 steps per minute(0), 21 steps per minute(1), and 28 steps per minute(2). To investigate the relationship between resting and exercise heart rate, and to see the effects of step frequency on the relationship, a scatter plot might be created by:
