Consider a linear regression model for the decrease in blood pressure (mmHg) over a four-week period with muy=2.8+0.8x and standard deviation chi=3.2. The explanatory variable x is the number of servings fruits and vegetables in a calorie-controlled diet. Using the 68-95-99.7 rule, between what two values would approximately 95% of the observed responses, y, fall when x = 7?

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?
Consider a linear regression model for the decrease in blood pressure (mmHg) over a four-week period with muy=2.8+0.8x and standard deviation chi=3.2.

An investigation into the relationship between an adolescent mother's age x in years and the birth weight y of her baby in grams yielded the regression equation y= - 1163.45 + 245.15x as well as r = .88369, r2= .78091, SSE = 337212.45, and s= 205.30844 1) What is the predicted birth weight for a baby brn to a 17 year old woman? 2) What is the propotion of the variability in the weights of babies born to adolescent mothers that is accounted for by the mother's age? 3) For every additional year in the mother's age that mean birth weight of the baby? (a) increases by about 245g (b) decreases by about 245g (c) increases by about 1163g (d) increases by about 1163g (e) changes by an amount that cannot be determined from the information given.
Consider a linear regression model for the decrease in blood pressure (mmHg) over a four-week period with muy=2.8+0.8x and standard deviation chi=3.2. The explanatory variable x is the number of servings fruits and vegetables in a calorie-controlled diet. The decrease in blood pressure y will vary about this subpopulation mean. What is the distribution of y for this subpopulation?
In a linear regression model, calculate the slope of the line, b1, when the correlation coefficient is r = -0.37, and the standard deviations of the predictor variable equals sx = 0.552 and the standard deviation of the response variable equals sy = 0.552. Only round your final answer to 2 decimal places.
A paper suggests that the simple linear regression model is reasonable for describing the relationship between y = eggshell thickness (in micrometers, µm) and x = egg length (mm) for quail eggs. Suppose that the population regression line is y = 0.125 + 0.007x and that ?e = 0.005. Then, for a fixed x value, y has a normal distribution with mean 0.125 + 0.007x and standard deviation 0.005. (a) What is the mean eggshell thickness for quail eggs that are 15 mm in length? ____ µm What is the mean eggshell thickness for quail eggs that are 17 mm in length? ____ µm (b) What is the probability that a quail egg with a length of 15 mm will have a shell thickness that is greater than 0.23 µm? _____ (c) Approximately what proportion of quail eggs of length 14 mm have a shell thickness of greater than 0.222? (Hint: The distribution of y at a fixed x is approximately normal. Round your answer to four decimal places.) ____ Approximately what proportion of quail eggs of length…

The birth lengths in cm (x) and birth weights in kg (y) of a sample of 50 newborn female babies are compared, yielding a correlation coefficient of r=0.578 and a linear regression equation of ŷ =−8.89+0.243x The babies all had lengths between 46.5 and 53.0 cm, and weights between 2.50 and 4.05 kg. Based on this, predict the birth weight of a newborn female baby with a birth length of 48.5 cm.
If the R-squared for a regression model relating the outcome y to an explanatory variable x is 0.9. This implies that y and x are positively correlated.
