Table 2 shows a recent graduate’s credit card balance each month after graduation. a. Use exponential regression to fit a model to these data. b. If spending continues at this rate, what will the graduate’s credit card debt be one year after graduating?
Table 6 shows the population, in thousands, of harbor seals in the Wadden Sea over the years 1997 to 2012. a. Let x represent time in years starting with x=0 for the year 1997. Let y represent the number of seals in thousands. Use logistic regression to fit a model to these data. b. Use the model to predict the seal population for the year 2020. c. To the nearest whole number, what is the limiting value of this model?
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?
For the 2011 season, suppose the average number of passing yards per attempt for a certain NFL team was 6.1. Use the estimated regression equation developed in part (c) to predict the percentage of games won by that NFL team. (Note: For the 2011 season, suppose this NFL team's record was 7 wins and 9 losses. Round your answer to the nearest integer.)

At a .01 level of significance is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the number of books sold is related to the number of registered students in a straight-line manner, and give the regression equation.
For 40 eruptions of the Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone National Park, duration times (sec) were recorded along with the heights (ft) of the eruptions. The linear correlation coefficient is r = 0.0915 and the regression equation is = 119 + 0.0331x, where x represents duration time. The mean of the 40 duration times is 245.0 sec and the mean of the 40 heights is 127.2 ft. What is the best predicted height of an eruption with a duration time of 120 min?
A group of scientists are interested in finding out whether the days of rainfall during the dry season could predict the magnitude of butterfly migration in the local area during wet season. Every year for twenty years, they count the total days of rainfall during the dry season preceding the migration and measure the number of butterflies migrating in the following wet season. Which type of statistical test should they use to analyze their data? (pearson's r correlation OR, simple regression equation)

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.)
