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?

Suppose that the sales of a company (Y) is regressed on advertising expenditure (x) and labor cost (z), and the estimated regression equation is Y = 5 + 0.5x + 0.7z + u (where u is the error term). Here, sales, advertising expenditure and labor cost are measured in million Tk. Standard error for the coefficient of x is 0.04, standard error for the coefficient of z is 0.01, and the sample size is 20. Can we conclude that advertising expenditure is a statistically significant variable?

The Life Insurance Company is attempting to model the weight, Y (in pounds), of a random sample of n=92 randomly selected adults using height, X1 (in inches), and gender, I2 (0 = Male 1=Female). In addition, as part of the research objective, we also wish to determine if the influence of height (X1) on weight (Y) depends on gender (I2) and vice versa. Write out the general regression equation for this model, based on the research objectives and information provided. Using the general equation from part A, write out the specific regression equation for a female. Using the general equation from part A, write out the specific regression equation for a male. If it was found that the influence of height on weight did NOT depend on gender, how would this change the equation given in part A of this problem? Rewrite the general equation from part A here.
