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 dean of the Business School at a small Florida college wishes to determine whether the grade-point average (GPA) of a graduate student can be used to predict the graduates starting salary. Records for 23 of last year’s Business School graduates were selected and the following least-squares regression line was calculated to predict starting salary (y) from GPA (x) and R2=.78. A) Circle the correct interpretation of R2.\ B) Suppose that you were one of the graduates in the study and the residual was negative. This means that
A financial analyst is examining the relationship between stock prices and earnings per share. She chooses publicly traded companies at random and records for each the company's current stock price and the company's earnings per share reported for the past 12 months. Her data are given below, with x denoting the earnings per share from the previous year, and y denoting the current stock price (both in dollars). Based on these data, she computes the least-squares regression line to be =y+−0.2130.046x. This line, along with a scatter plot of her data, is shown below. Based on the sample data and the regression line, complete the following.
