a snow plower recorded inches of snow fall and the yield by measure of square acreage over the previous 5 seasons. The regression equation is determined to be y=38.4+6.3x where x represents the inches of snowfall and y the measure of yield. 1. use the best fitting line to predict yield for 6 inches of snow 2. one of the records is (6,75) what is teh residual if x is 6

For the following exercises, consider this scenario: The profit of a company decreased steadily overa ten-year spam.The following ordered pairs shows dollars and the number of units sold in hundreds and the profit in thousands ofover the ten-year span, (number of units sold, profit) for specific recorded years: (46,600),(48,550),(50,505),(52,540),(54,495). Use linear regression to determine a function Pwhere the profit in thousands of dollars depends onthe number of units sold in hundreds.
For the following exercises, use Table 4 which shows the percent of unemployed persons 25 years or older who are college graduates in a particular city, by year. Determine whether the trend appears linear. If so, and assuming the trend continues, find a linear regression model to predict the percent of unemployed in a given year to three decimal places.

For the following exercises, consider this scenario: The population of a city increased steadily over a ten-year span.The following ordered pairs show the population and the year over the ten-year span (population, year) for specific recorded years: (3,600,2000);(4,000,2001);(4,700,2003);(6,000,2006) 42. Use linear regression to determine a function y,where the year depends on the population, to threedecimal places of accuracy.

Find the unknown value. 27. y varies jointly with x and the cube root of 2. If when x=2 and z=27,y=12, find y if x=5 and z=8.
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?
