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 researcher notes that, in a certain region, a disproportionate number of software millionaires were born around the year 1955. Is this a coincidence, or does birth year matter when gauging whether a software founder will besuccessful? The researcher investigated this question by analyzing the data shown in the accompanying table. Complete parts a through c below. a. Find the coefficient of determination for the simple linear regression model relating number (y) of software millionaire birthdays in a decade to total number (x) of births in the region. Interpret the result. The coefficient of determination is 1.___? (Round to three decimal places as needed.) This value indicates that 2.____ of the sample variation in the number of software millionaire birthdays is explained by the linear relationship with the total number of births in the region. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) b. Find the coefficient of determination for the simple linear regression model…
Jensen Tire & Auto is deciding whether to purchase a maintenance contract for its newcomputer wheel alignment and balancing machine. Managers feel that maintenance expenseshould be related to usage, and they collected the following information on weeklyusage (hours) and annual maintenance expense (in hundreds of dollars). a. Develop a scatter chart with weekly usage hours as the independent variable. Whatdoes the scatter chart indicate about the relationship between weekly usage and annualmaintenance expense?b. Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation that could be used to predictthe annual maintenance expense for a given number of hours of weekly usage. Whatis the estimated regression model? c. Test whether each of the regression parameters b0 and b1 is equal to zero at a 0.05level of significance. What are the correct interpretations of the estimated regressionparameters? Are these interpretations reasonable?d. How much of the variation in the sample values of…
If a scatterplot is created in excel, and a line of regression is fit along with a derived functional form, what does it mean to describe and interpret them? What conclusions would be made about relationships between two recorded variables?
The issue of multicollinearity impacted the 'vadity and trustworthiness' of a regression model. demonstrate how this issue can be a problem by using an appropriate hypothetical and mathematical example.
Given a generic data set (x,y) with a linear regression. How do you determine if the y(dependent) will be less/greater than a certain value at a decided value of x?
A mail-order business selling personal computer supplies, software and hardware maintains a centralized warehouse. Management is currently examining the process of distribution from the warehouse and wants to study the factors that affect the warehouse distribution costs. Data collected over 24 random months contain the warehouse’s distribution cost (in thousands of Rands), the sales (in thousands of Rands) and the number of orders received. A multiple linear regression model was fitted to the data by using Stat1.2. Use the output to answer the questions that follow by typing only the letter of the correct option in the answer boxes.

Life insurance companies are keenly interested in predicting how long their customers are likely to live, because this will determine their premiums and ultimately their profitability. An Australian life insurance company is interested in the relationship, if any, between the age at death of their male customers and that of the customer’s father. Data are collected on a random sample of 100 of their male customers who have recently died. The customer’s age at death was plotted against that of their father and a linear regression model applied. Relevant output is shown below. Say how you know from the output that there actually is a significant linear relationship between a male customer’s age at death and his father’s age at death. State the value of the coefficient of Father’s Age (Death) and interpret this value in the context of the problem at hand.State the value of the coefficient of determination in the model and interpret this value in the context of the situation.

Which of the following is not an example of systematic error in an observational study? A cross-sectional study recruits participants that are willing to sign up outside of a major university and meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria to take part in the survey relating unsafe sex habits to STIs. A researcher is interested in the relationship between coffee drinking and lung cancer, and after careful multivariate linear regression modeling determines that a significant percentage of the relationship is due to another variable, cigarette smoking. An observational study recruits participants for a study looking at Alzheimer’s disease due to exposure to industrial hazards by asking participants to recall their exposure over the past 10 years. data-entry specialist responsible for adding in fasting glucose levels to a database accidentally skipped an observation during the input phase of data cleaning.
The systolic blood pressure dataset (in the third sheet of the spreadsheet linked above) contains the systolic blood pressure and age of 30 randomly selected patients in a medical facility. What is the equation for the least square regression line where the independent or predictor variable is age and the dependent or response variable is systolic blood pressure? Y=__________ X + ______________ Patient 7 is 67 years old and has a systolic blood pressure of 170 mm Hg. What is the residual? __________ mm Hg Is the actual value above, below, or on the line? What is the interpretation of the residual? (difference in actual &predicated bp, difference in age, the amount of systolic changes)
