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 least-squares regression equation is y=784.6x+12,431 where y is the median income and x is the percentage of 25 years and older with at least a bachelor's degree in the region. The scatter diagram indicates a linear relation between the two variables with a correlation coefficient of 0.7962. Predict the median income of a region in which 25% of adults 25 years and older have at least a bachelor's degree.

The least-squares regression equation is y=728.0x+14,705 where y is the median income and x is the percentage of 25 years and older with at least a bachelor's degree in the region. The scatter diagram indicates a linear relation between the two variables with a correlation coefficient of 0.8165. For every dollar increase in median income, the percent of adults having at least a bachelor's degree is ___%, on average. For a median income of $0, the percent of adults with a bachelor's degree is ____%.
The least-squares regression equation is y=647.8x+17,858 where y is the median income and x is the percentage of 25 years and older with at least a bachelor's degree in the region. The scatter diagram indicates a linear relation between the two variables with a correlation coefficient of 0.7507. predict the median income of a region in which 20% of adults 25 years and older have at least a bachelor's degree. Round to the nearest dollar as needed.
A trucking company considered a multiple regression model for relating the dependent variable of total daily travel time for one of its drivers (hours) to the predictors distance traveled (miles) and the number of deliveries of made. After taking a random sample, a multiple regression was performed and the output is given below. Interpret the slope of the deliveries variable. When deliveries increases by 0.805 units, time increases by 1 hour, holding all other variables constant. 2) We do not have enough information to say. 3) When deliveries increases by 1 unit, time decreases by 0.805 hours, holding all other variables constant. 4) When deliveries decreases by 1 unit, time increases by 0.805 hours, holding all other variables constant. 5) When deliveries increases by 1 unit, time increases by 0.805 hours, holding all other variables constant.
Suppose that a regional express delivery service company wants to estimate the cost of shipping a package (Y) as a function of cargo type, where cargo type includes the following possibilities: fragile, semi-fragile, and durable. Costs for 15 randomly chosen packages of approximately the same weight and same distance shipped, but of different cargo types, are provided in the file P14_16.xlsx. a. Estimate a regression equation using the given sample data, and interpret the estimated regression coefficients. b. According to the estimated regression equation, which cargo type is the most costly to ship? Which cargo type is the least costly to ship? c. How well does the estimated equation fit the given sample data? How might the fit be improved? d. Given the estimated regression equation, predict the cost of shipping a package with semi-fragile cargo.
The owner of Original Italian Pizza restaurant chain wants to understand which variable most strongly influences the sales of his specialty deep-dish pizza. He has gathered data on the monthly sales of deep-dish pizzas at his restaurants and observations on other potentially relevant variables for each of several outlets in central Indiana. These data are provided in the file P10_04.xlsx. Estimate a simple linear regression equation between the quantity sold (Y) and each of the following candidates for the best explanatory variable: average price of deep-dish pizzas (X1), monthly advertising expenditures (X2), and disposable income per household in the areas surrounding the outlets (X3). Round your answers for intercept coefficients to the nearest whole number and slope coefficients to two decimal places, if necessary. If your answer is negative number, enter "minus" sign.
Carbon dioxide (CO,) is produced by burning fossil fuels such as oll and natural gas, and has been connected to global warming. The following table presents the average amounts (in metric tons) of COy emissions for certain years per person in the United States and per person in the rest of the world. Use a TI-84 calculator to answer the following, (a) Compute the least-squares regression line for predicting U.S. emissions from non-U.S. emissions. Round the slope and y-intercept values to four decimal places.
Draw a scatterplot of the right foot temperature (y) versus the left foot temperature (x). Then draw the least-squares regression line on the graph.
The coefficients in a distributed lag regression of Y on X and its lags can be interpreted as the dynamic causal effects when the time path of X is determined randomly and independently of other factors that influence Y. Explain How?
In an attempt to develop a model of wine quality as judged by wine experts, data was collected from 50 red wine variants of a certain type of wine. A multiple linear regression model to predict wine quality, measured on a scale from 0 (very bad) to 10 (excellent) was developed, based on alcohol content (%), X1, and the amount of chlorides, X2. Perform a multiple regression analysis and determine the VIF for each independent variable in the model. Is there reason to suspect the existence of collinearity? Determine the VIF for each independent variable in the model, with VIF1 and VIF2 being the VIF for X1 and X2, respectively.
