The scatterplot below shows Olympic gold medal performances in the long jump from 1900 to 1988. The long jump is measured in meters. Here is the equation of the least squares regression line Predicted long jump = 7.24 + 0.014 * year since 1900. What does the vertical-intercept (a.k.a. y-intercept) tell us?
