The personnel director for Electronics Associates developed the following estimated regression equation relating an employee's score on a job satisfaction test to his or her length of service and wage rate. (20 pts) ý=14.4 – 8.69x1 + 13.5 x2 where: x1 = length of service in years x2 = wage rate in dollars y = job satisfaction test score (higher scores indicate more job satisfaction) %3D a. Interpret the coefficients in this estimated regression equation. b. Develop an estimate of the job satisfaction test score for an employee who has four years of service and makes $6.50 per hour.

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 owner of Original Italian Pizza restaurant chain wants to understand which variable most strongly influences the sales of his specialty deep-dish pizza. He has gathered data on the monthly sales of deep-dish pizzas at his restaurants and observations on other potentially relevant variables for each of several outlets in central Indiana. These data are provided in the file P10_04.xlsx. Estimate a simple linear regression equation between the quantity sold (Y) and each of the following candidates for the best explanatory variable: average price of deep-dish pizzas (X1), monthly advertising expenditures (X2), and disposable income per household in the areas surrounding the outlets (X3). Round your answers for intercept coefficients to the nearest whole number and slope coefficients to two decimal places, if necessary. If your answer is negative number, enter "minus" sign.

The admissions officer for a certain college developed the following estimated regression equation relating the final college GPA to the student's SAT mathematics score and high school GPA. ŷ = −1.39 + 0.0234x1 + 0.00482x2 where x1 = high-school grade point average x2 = SAT mathematics score y = final college grade point average. #1)A high-school average 84 corresponds to x1 = 84 and a score of 535 on the SAT mathematics test corresponds to x2 = 535. Substitute these values into the estimated regression equation to find the final college GPA, rounding the result to two decimal places. GPA = −1.39 + 0.0234x1 + 0.00482x2 = -1.39 +0.0234 (_____________) + 0.00482 (535) = __________________
The following results are from data concerning the amount withdrawn from an ATM machine based on the amount of time spent at the ATM machine (SECONDS) and the gender, FEMALE (dummy variable = 1 for females and = 0 for males) and an interaction term, SECONDS*FEMALE Based on the regression results, if a male and female each spend the same amount of time at the ATM machine (say 27 seconds), how much more (or less) will a male withdraw? (if a male withdraws more then your answer should be a positive number and if a male withdraws less then your answer should be a negative number? (please express your answer using 1 decimal places)
