A representative sample of 190 students resulted in a regression equation between y = left hand spans (cm) and x = right hand spans (cm). The least squares regression equation is y = 1.4 + 0.97 x. For a student with a right and left hand span of 24 cm, what is the value of the residual? Give your answer to 2 decimal places.

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?

A least squares regression line was calculated to relate the length (cm) of newborn boys to their weight in kg. The line is weight = -5.69 + 0.1656 length. A newborn was 48cm long and weighed 33kg. According to the regression model, what was his residual? What does that say about him?

Is CEO compensation related to a company's performance? To test whether CEO compensation and a company's stock performance are related, a financial analyst collected data on 12 randomly selected, publicly traded companies. For each company, the analyst looked at two variables: the percent change in stock price over the past five years (which she denoted x ) and the percent change in CEO compensation over the past five years (which she denoted y ). For these 12 companies, the least-squares regression equation relating the two variables was =y+−0.1650.046x , and the standard error of the slope of this least-squares regression line was approximately 0.028 . Using her information, test for a significant linear relationship between these two variables by doing a hypothesis test regarding the population slope β1 . (Assume that the variable y follows a normal distribution for each value of x and that the other regression assumptions are satisfied.) Use the…
