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 U.S. state's Bureau of Economic Geology published a study on the economic impact of using carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technology to extract additional oil from fields that have reached the end of their conventional economic life. The following table gives the approximate number of jobs for the citizens that would be created at various levels of recovery. Percent Recovery (%) 20 40 80 100 Jobs Created (Millions) 6 9 12 18 Find the regression line. j(r) = Use the regression line to estimate the number of jobs that would be created at a recovery level of 60%. _____ million jobs

We have been assigned to determine how the total weeklyproduction cost for Widgetco depends on the number ofwidgets produced during the week. The following modelhas been proposed:Y b0 b1X b2X2 b3X3 where X number of widgets produced during the weekand Y total production cost for the week. For 15 weeksof data, we found that SSR 215,475 and SST 229,228.For this model, we obtain the following estimated regressionequation (t-statistics for each coefficient are in parentheses):yˆ 29.7 19.8X 0.39X2 0.005X3(0.78) (0.62) (1.25)a For a 0.10, test H0: bi 0 against Ha: bi 0(i 1, 2, 3).b Determine R2 for this model. How can the high R2value be reconciled with the answer to part (a)?

Consider the following two a.m. peak work trip generation models, estimated by household linear regression: T = 0.62 + 3.1 X1 + 1.4 X2 R2= 0.590 (2.3) (7.1) (5.9) T = 0.01 + 2.4 X1 + 1.2 Z1 + 4.0 Z2 R2= 0.598 (0.8) (4.2) (1.7) (3.1) X1 = number of workers in the household X2 = number of cars in the household, Z1 is a dummy variable which takes the value 1 if the household has one car, Z2 is a dummy variable which takes the value 1 if the household has two or more cars. Compare the two models and choose the best. If a zone has 1000 households, of which 50% have no car, 35% have one car, and the rest have exactly two cars, estimate the total number of trips generated by this zone. Use the preferred trip generation model and assume that each household has an average of two workers

Suppose that researchers are interested in determining the bi-annual salary of statisticians of different levels using their years of experience and their education level (M = bachelors, P = doctorate). They fit the following model to a dataset that includes these variables and, after performing the proper steps of multiple linear regression, the following multiple linear regression model is obtained: yˆ = 42308 + 323x1 + 213x2 + 301(x1*x2) where the variables are as follows: yˆ = predicted bi−annual salary in dollars, x1 = number of years of experiencex2= {1 if the education level is a doctorate 0 if the education level is a bachelors What is the predicted bi-annual salary in dollars of an employee with 5 years of experience and a bachelor’s degree?
