The measure of standard error can also be applied to the parameter estimates resulting from linear regressions. For example, consider the following linear regression equation that describes the relationship between education and wage: WAGE = Bo + B1 EDUC; +e; where WAGE, is the hourly wage of person i (i.e., any specific person) and EDUC; is the number of years of education for that same person. The residual e; encompasses other factors that influence wage, and is assumed to be uncorrelated with education and have a mean of zero. Suppose that after collecting a cross-sectional data set, you run an OLS regression to obtain the following parameter estimates: WAGE = -11.1+6.2 EDUC; and As the number of observations in a data set If the standard error of the estimate of B, is 1.34, then the true value of B, lies between VOU Would expect this range to in size.

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?

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.
