The human resources department at a firm developed a multiple regression to predict the success of candidates for available positions. Drawing records of new hires from five years ago, analysts regressed current annual salary on age at the time of hire and score on a test given to new hires. The path diagram below summarizes the fitted model. Age is coded in years, the test is scored from 1 to 20, and annual salary is in thousands of dollars ($m).

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?

In order to determine a realistic price for a new product that a company wants to market the company’s research department selected 10 sites thought to have essentially identical sales potential and offered the product in each at a different price. The resulting sales are recorded in the accompanying table: Price ($) Sales ($1,000s) 15.00 15 15.50 14 16.00 16 16.50 9 17.00 12 17.50 10 18.00 8 18.50 9 19.00 6 19.50 5 h). Estimate the slope of the actual equation of the regression line using a 95% confidence interval and interpret this interval.

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.

In an attempt to develop a model of wine quality as judged by wine experts, data on alcohol content and wine quality was collected from variants of a particular wine. From a sample of 17 wines, a model was created using the percentages of alcohol to predict wine quality. From the results of that regression, b1=0.4386 and Sb1=0.1141. a. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence of a linear relationship between the percentage of alcohol and wine quality? b. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population slope, β1. b. The 95% confidence interval is __ ≤ β1 ≤ __ (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
