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?

Sales of Orange computer have grown steadily during the past 5 years: Year Sales 1 450 2 295 3 518 4 563 5 584 6 ? My sales manager had predicted, before the business started, that year 1’s sales would be 410 computers. What are required: Develop forecasts for years 2 through 6 by using exponential smoothing with a weight of alpha = 0.30 Develop forecasts for the sales of Orange computers by using smoothing constants of 0.6 and 0.9 Help me to propose the most accurate forecast in smoothing constant, based on forecast at no.2 above. Help me to critically evaluate the effect that the smoothing constant have on the forecast for Orange computers.

We are interested in studying cigarette demand by young adults. Lets consider thefollowing model: ncaj = β0 + β1price + β2age + β3income + u a)Consider now an extension of the model that allow the effect of theprice to differ by age. Holding all other factors fixed, is the effect of price onncaj constant? (This part is theoretical and you do not have to estimate themodel.) b) Now consider the following model:ln(ncaj) = β0 + β1ln(price) + β2age + β3income + u Using the same sample above we have obtained the following results:ln\(ncaj) = 1.17− 0.69price + 0.06age + 0.009income Is there enough evidence to say that an increase of 1000 dollars in income,while keeping price and age fixed, increases cigarette consumption by lessthan 1%?
