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?

Section 10.3 Question #8 The table below lists measured amounts of redshift and the distances (billions of light-years) to randomly selected astronomical objects. Find the (a) explained variation, (b) unexplained variation, and (c) indicated prediction interval. There is sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear correlation, so it is reasonable to use the regression equation when making predictions. For the prediction interval, use a 90% confidence level with a redshift of 0.0126. Redshift 0.0236 0.0535 0.0722 0.0398 0.0438 0.0108 Distance 0.34 0.75 0.98 0.55 0.63 0.14 a.

Suppose a researcher wants to see if the proportion of college educated adults is higher in New York compared to Florida. The researcher randomly samples 500 adults in New York and found that 196 had a college education, while a random sample of 600 adults in Florida found that 227 had a college education.At the 0.05 level of significance, does the data provide evidence to suggest the proportion of college educated adults is higher in New York than Florida? Step 1: Define the parameter & setup the testStep 2: State the Level of SignificanceStep 3: Find the value of the Test StatisticsStep 4: Find P-Value OR Find Critical ValueStep 5: State Conclusion and why
The variables in our dataset include the college grade point average (colGPA), high school GPA (hsGPA), and achievement test score (ACT) for a sample of 141 students from a large university; both college and high school GPAs are on a four- point scale. We estimate the following model by OLS: colGPA=β₁+β₂hsGPA+β₃ACT+u,and obtain the following parameter estimates β₁=1, β₂=0.5, and β₃=0.02. Predict difference of college GPA's of two students (colGPAB-colGPAA) where the student B has a 0.4 higher GPA in high school and 5 points higher ACT score compared to student A.

QUESTION 6 A new starch polymer foam with high shock absorbent properties is expected to perform better thanthe old foam which can withstand a maximum impact of 1.56 Joule (J). A simple destructive testto quantify shock absorption ability of the new foam is conducted. Table 5 shows the impact energyabsorbed (in J) that the new foam can withstand for each test.Table 51.61 1.5 1.65 1.7 1.4 1.59 1.65 1.5Does the recorded data suggests that the new foam performs better than the old foam? Use 2.5%level of significance.
At what age do babies learn to crawl? Does it take longer to learn in the winter when babies are often bundled in clothes that restrict their movement? Data were collected from parents who brought their babies into the University of Denver Infant Study Center to participate in one of a number of experiments between 1988 and 1991. Parents reported the birth month and the age at which their child was first able to creep or crawl a distance of four feet within one minute. The resulting data were grouped by month of birth. The data are for January, May, and September AverageBirth month crawling age SD nJanuary 29.84 7.08 32May 28.58 8.07 27September 33.83 6.93 38 Crawling age is given in weeks. Assume the data come from three independent simple random samples, one from each of the three populations (babies born in a particular month) and that the populations of crawling ages have normal…
