A well-known university is interested in how salary (in thousands of dollars) is predicted from years of service for faculty and administrative staff. Below are the estimated regression equations. Faculty (n = 170): ŷ = 60 + 1.1x Admin. (n = 155): ŷ = 57 + 1.5x a) How much would a faculty member be earning after 5 years of service? b) In how many years will an administrator earn the same amount as in a)?

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 worker has noticed that the more time he spends at work (x), the less money he is likely to make (y) in conducting transactions for his firm. Which of the regression equations MOST suggests such a possibility?
A biologist wants to predict the height of male giraffes, y, in feet, given their age, x1, in years, weight, x2, in pounds, and neck length, x3, in feet. She obtains the multiple regression equation yˆ=7.36+0.00895x1+0.000426x2+0.913x3. Predict the height of a 12-year-old giraffe that weighs 3,100 pounds and has a 7-foot-long neck, rounding to the nearest foot.

A car dealer wants to estimate the price of a used car based on the age of the car and the mileage. Based on a sample of 20 cars, she determines the sample regression equation that predicts price taxes on the basis of the age (in years) of the number of miles is Price=21,619-1022Age-0.03 Miles (a) If the age of the car was fixed and the mileage was increased by 10,000, how much would the price increase or decrease and by how much? (b) Predict the selling price of a five-year-old car with 65,000 miles. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)

We wish to predict the salary for baseball players (yy) using the variables RBI (x1x1) and HR (x2x2), then we use a regression equation of the form ˆy=b0+b1x1+b2x2y^=b0+b1x1+b2x2. HR - Home runs - hits on which the batter successfully touched all four bases, without the contribution of a fielding error. RBI - Run batted in - number of runners who scored due to a batters's action, except when batter grounded into double play or reached on an error Salary is in millions of dollars.
