Use a graphing calculator to find a linear regression model for the men's 100-meter freestyle data given in the table on the right, where x is years since 1980 and y is winning time (in seconds). Do the same for the women's 100-meter freestyle data. Do these models indicate that the women will eventually catch up with the men? The men's linear regression model is y=0 (Round regression coefficients to three decimal places as needed.) 1980 1984 1988 1992 1996 2000 2004 2008 100-Meter Freestyle Men 50.40 49.80 48.63 49.12 48.74 48.30 48.17 47.21 Women 54.79 55.92 54.93 54.65 54.50 53.83 53.96 53.12

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?

We wish to predict the salary for baseball players (y) using the variables RBI (x1) and HR (x2), then we use a regression equation of the form yˆ=b0+b1x1+b2x2 HR - Home runs - hits on which the batter successfully touched all four bases, without the contribution of a fielding error. RBI - Run batted in - number of runners who scored due to a batters's action, except when batter grounded into double play or reached on an error Salary is in millions of dollars.

And run a simple linear regression in SPSS to determine if pulse at warm-up (The name of the variable in SPSS is "stage 1" and its label is "pulse at warmup") significantly predicts pulse while running ( The name of the variable in SPSS is "stage 3" and its label is "pulse running"). Use α = .05 Is the regression equation significant? That is, does pulse at warm-up explains (or predicts) a significant amount of variability in pulse while running? Report the F, df (of numerator, and df of the denominator) and p-value.
Suppose Connie used regression to predict the height of a woman’s current boyfriend by using her own height as the explanatory variable. Height was measured in feet from a sample of 100 women undergraduates, and their boyfriends, at De La Salle Lipa. Now, suppose that the height of both the women and the men are converted to centimeters. The impact of this conversion on the slope is: the magnitude of the slope will change neither the sign nor magnitude of the slope will change the sign of the slope will change both the sign and magnitude of the slope will change
