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 pediatrician wants to determine the relationship that exists between achild’s height, x, and head circumference, y. She randomly selects 11 children from her practice, measures their heights and head circumferences, and conducts the least-squares regression analysis with the simple linear model using StatCrunch. The output is given below: (a) Write down the equation of the least-squares regression line treating height as the explanatory variable and head circumference as the response variable. (b) Interpret the slope and y-intercept, if appropriate. (c) Use the regression equation to predict the head circumference of a child who is 25 inches tall. Assume that the regression model is applicable.(d) It is observed that one child who is 25 inches tall has a head circumference of 17.5 inches. Is the observed value above or below average among all children with heights of 25 inches?

A box office analyst seeks to predict opening weekend box office gross for movies. Toward this goal, the analyst plans to use online trailer views as a predictor. For each of the 66 movies, the number of online trailer views from the release of the trailer through the Saturday before a movie opens and the opening weekend box office gross (in millions of dollars) are collected and stored in the accompanying table. Assuming a linear relationship, use the least-squares method to determine the regression coefficients b0 and b1. Interpret the meaning of the slope, b1, in this problem. Predict the mean opening weekend box office gross for a movie that had 80 million online trailer views. What insights can be obtained about predicting opening weekend box office gross from online trailer views?

A magazine publishes restaurant ratings for various locations around the world. The magazine rates the restaurants for food, decor, service, and the cost per person. Develop a regression model to predict the cost per person, based on a variable that represents the sum of the three ratings. The magazine has compiled the accompanying table of this summated ratings variable and the cost per person for 25 restaurants in a major city. Assuming a linear relationship, use the least-squares method to compute the regression coefficients b0 and b1.
