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 U.S. state's Bureau of Economic Geology published a study on the economic impact of using carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technology to extract additional oil from fields that have reached the end of their conventional economic life. The following table gives the approximate number of jobs for the citizens that would be created at various levels of recovery. Percent Recovery (%) 20 40 80 100 Jobs Created (Millions) 6 9 12 18 Find the regression line. j(r) = Use the regression line to estimate the number of jobs that would be created at a recovery level of 60%. _____ million jobs
A sales manager collected the following data on annual sales for new customer accounts and the number of years of experience for a sample of 10 salespersons. Salesperson Years of Experience Annual Sales ($1000s) 1 1 80 2 3 97 3 4 92 4 4 102 5 6 103 6 8 111 7 10 119 8 10 123 9 11 117 10 13 136 Develop a scatter diagram for these data with years of experience as the independent variable. Develop an estimated regression equation that can be used to predict annual sales given the years of experience. Use the estimated regression equation to predict annual sales for a salesperson with 9 years of experience.
The authors of a paper were interested in how the distance a deer mouse will travel for food is related to the distance from the food to the nearest pile of debris. Distances were measured in meters. The data and computer output are given below.
