In comparing two multiple regression models, one with variables that are a subset of the other, bigger model’s variables, to infer which model is superior, I get confused in looking at R-squared, adjusted R-squared, and F-statistic values. What’s the difference among them and is one of these preferable to the others? Thanks.

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 best predicted crash fatality rate for a year in which there are 525 metric tons of lemon imports is ____________ fatalities per 100,000 population. Is the prediction worthwhile? A.Since common sense suggests there should not be much of a relationship between the two variables, the prediction does not make much sense. B. Since the sample size is small, the prediction is not appropriate. C. Since all of the requirements for finding the equation of the regression line are met, the prediction is worthwhile. D.Since there appears to be an outlier, the prediction is not appropriate.
