Suppose you are a manager for a carnival game at the local fair. You want to estimate how many prizes you will need to have in stock to give out, based on the number of tickets purchased before the fair begins. You examine the past 24 fair openings to make your regression model, and find ŷ = 234.29 +0. 1x, where x is the number of tickets purchased before the fair begins, and ŷ is the predicted demand for prizes during the first day of the fair. You also find SE(b₁) = 0.045. Using a hypothesis test with a significance level of 1% select the correct interpretation of your analysis for the test below. [H₁ : ß₁ = 0 HA: B₁0

Use linear regression to determine a function Pwhere the profit in thousands of dollars depends onthe number of units sold in hundreds.
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?
