Scenario 4: A researcher investigated the relationship between family income and their savings. Using the data from 15 families, the computed r between income and savings was found to be 0.76. The researcher wants to test if there is a significant relationship between the two variables at 5% level of significance and create a regression equation to predict the possible savings given the income of the family. Interpret the computed r value. (Write your interpretation in statement form) Test if there is a significant relationship between the two variables at 5% level of significance.

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?

A company has a set of data with employee age (X) and the corresponding number of annual on-the-job-accidents (Y). Analysis on the set finds that the regression equation is Y=60-0.5*X. What can be said of the correspondence (relation) between age and accidents? Are younger workers safer or more prone to accident? What is the likely number of accidents for someone aged 25?
Suppose that a researcher studying the weight of female college athletes wants to predict the weights based on height, measured in inches, and the percentage of body fat of an athlete. The researcher calculates the regression equation as (weight) = 3.544*(height) + 1.064*(percent body fat) - 87.076. If a female athlete is 64 inches tall and has a 21 percentage of body fat, what is her expected weight? Question 24 options: 1) 55.444 2) We do not know the observations in the data set, so we cannot answer that question. 3) 162.084 4) 249.16 5) 336.236
