A statistician determined that the winning times in the women's 200 m Olympic sprint can be modelled by the regression equation T= 22.249 -0.034y where Trepresents the winning time in seconds and y represents the years since 1992. a) What do the slope and y-intercept represent in this context? b) Estimate the first year when the winning time will be below 21 s. Remember that the summer Olympics occurs every four years.

If your graphing calculator is capable of computing a least-squares sinusoidal regression model, use it to find a second model for the data. Graph this new equation along with your first model. How do they compare?
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?
Does Table 1 represent a linear function? If so, finda linear equation that models the data.
A study was conducted to determine if a linear relationship exists between Calculus II (Y) grades and Calculus I (X). The researcher found out that the values of the slope and the y-intercept of the regression line is equal to 1.0134 and – 5.239, respectively. What is the predicted Calculus II grade when the Calculus I grade is equal to 85?
A real estate analyst has developed a multiple regression line, y = 60 + 0.068 x1 – 2.5 x2, to predict y = the market price of a home (in $1,000s), using two independent variables, x1 = the total number of square feet of living space, and x2 = the age of the house in years. With this regression model, the predicted price of a 10-year old home with 2,500 square feet of living area is __________. $205.00 $200,000.00 $205,000.00 $255,000.00
A real estate analyst has developed a multiple regression line, y = 60 + 0.068 x1 – 2.5 x2, to predict y = the market price of a home (in $1,000s), using independent variables, x1 = the total number of square feet of living space, and x2 = the age of the house in years. The regression coefficient of x2 suggests this: __________. If the square feet area of living space is kept constant, a 1 year increase in the age of the homes will result in a predicted drop of $2500 in the price of the homes If the square feet area of living space is kept constant, a 1 year increase in the age of the homes will result in a predicted increase of $2500 in the price of the homes Whatever be the square feet area of the living space, a 1 year increase in the age of the homes will result in a predicted increase of $2500 in the price of the homes Whatever be the square feet area of the living space, a 1 year increase in the age of the homes will result in a predicted drop of $2500 in the price of the homes

What is the best prediction for the tuition of students whose parents earn no income? b. What is the best prediction for the tuition of students whose parents earn $45000? c.

A surgery intern has conducted a study of the sleeping habits of her colleagues and has developed a following regression equation: Y = 6 + 0.1X, where X is the number of hours working on one shift, and Y is the number of hours sleeping at night after that shift. Each work shift analyzed was between 8 and 24 hours long. All the following statements about the regression equation are true EXCEPT The minimum amount of sleep an intern would get is 6 hours For each hour working on a shift, interns slept an additional 0.1 hours The maximum amount of sleep an intern would get is 8.4 hours The minimum amount of sleep an intern would get is 6.8 hours
Suppose a psychologist used number of minutes of sleep in the night before a quiz to predict the time needed to finish the quiz using simple linear regression. The unstandardized coefficient (B in SPSS) is 5. If the psychologist converts the unit of sleep duration from minute to hour (a value of 60 [minutes] is changed to a value of 1 [hour]) and do the regression again, what is the unstandardized coefficient of sleep in this analysis using hour as the unit?

A study in the univeristy of massachusetts amherst published in the may 2007 journal of marriage and family found that married women do about one fewer hour of housework a week for every $7500 they earn as a full time workers outside of the home, regardless of their husband's income A) what would be the numerical value of the slope coefficient in the regression model that predicts womens housework hours from their income? what does the sign of the slope (positive or negative) tell us about the relationship between these variables B) Suppose Lynette's salary is $30,000 greater than Gabriells. what would you predict the difference in hours of housework they each do.
