The equation for a regression line predicting the number of hours of TV watched by children (Y) from the number of hours of TV watched by their parents (X) is Y' = 4 + 1.2X. The sample size is 12.(a) If the standard error of b is .4, is the slope statistically significant at the .05 level? (b) If the mean of X is 8, what is the mean of Y?

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 Linear regression is used to predict Y from X in a certain population. In this population, SSY is 50, the correlation between X and Y is .5, and N is 100. What will be the standard error of the estimate?
If the correlation of the X's is equal to 1 or -1, then the regression cannot process. Why?
If you have a b of 0.56 in a regression equation, what does this mean? For every one-unit increase in x, you get an increase of 0.56 in y r = .31 On average, the variability of real scores around the regression line is 0.56 For every 1 standard deviation increase in x, you get an increase of 0.56 standard deviations in y
A set of n = 25 pairs of X and Y values has a correlation of r = -0.50 with SSX = 38 and SSY = 14. Find the standard error of estimate for the regression equation. What percentage of the variance in Y is accounted for by X?
One set of 20 pairs of scores, X and Y values, produces a correlation of r = 0.70. If SSY = 150, calculate the standard error of the estimate for the regression line
For 40 eruptions of the Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone National Park, duration times (sec) were recorded along with the heights (ft) of the eruptions. The linear correlation coefficient is r = 0.0915 and the regression equation is = 119 + 0.0331x, where x represents duration time. The mean of the 40 duration times is 245.0 sec and the mean of the 40 heights is 127.2 ft. What is the best predicted height of an eruption with a duration time of 120 min?
) In estimating the regression in the previous problem (#2), you are concerned that the t-statistics may be inflated because of serial correlation. You compute the DW statistic at 0.724 for the regression Based on the DW, what can you say about serial correlation between the residuals? Are they positively or negatively correlated? Or not correlated? Compute the sample correlation between the regression residuals from one period and those from the previous period. Perform a statistical test at the level to see if there is serial correlation. If you are using the table in the textbook, assume that the critical values of the DW statistic for 214 observations are about 0.11 higher than the critical values for 100 observations.
If there is a positive correlation between X and Y, then the regression equation Y = bX + a will have _____.
Is the regression equation for predicting Y in terms of X the same as the regression line for predicting X in terms of Y?
For the 2011 season, suppose the average number of passing yards per attempt for a certain NFL team was 6.1. Use the estimated regression equation developed in part (c) to predict the percentage of games won by that NFL team. (Note: For the 2011 season, suppose this NFL team's record was 7 wins and 9 losses. Round your answer to the nearest integer.)
When is the standard error of the estimate (in linear regression) large? When the X values are very close to the Y values. When the residuals are large on average. When the average distance between actual Y scores and predicted Y scores is small. When the coefficient of determination is small.
