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?

Suppose Tatiyana is interested in the relationship between language ability and time spent reading. She randomly selects a sample of 30 students from the local high school and collects their scores from a language aptitude test. She surveys the sample asking each student how many hours per month he or she spends reading. Using the sample data, Tatiyana produces a scatterplot with reading time on the horizontal axis and language test scores on the vertical axis. She develops a least squares regression equation where ? is the amount of time spent reading during the month and ?̂ is the predicted value of the language test score. ?̂=3.251x+31.237 Compute the value of ?̂ when a student spends 42 hours reading. Give your answer precise to one decimal place. Avoid rounding until the last step. ?̂= ? points Identify all of the true statements regarding the interpretation of ?̂ when ?=42. The value of ?̂ is ? a. the predicted number of students that read for 42 hours. b. the language test…

A researcher collected data on the cholesterol level, CC, and the age, AA, of 24 people selected at random. Using the data, the researcher calculated the least-squares regression line to be Cˆ=182+2.2AC^=182+2.2A and the standard error of the slope to be 0.38. If the conditions for inference are met, which of the following is closest to the value of the test statistic to test the hypotheses H0:β=0H0:β=0 versus Ha:β≠0Ha:β≠0 ?
In a statistics course, a linear regression equation was computed to predict the final exam score from the score on the midterm exam. The equation of the least‑squares regression line was ?̂ =10+0.9?, where ?y represents the final exam score and ?x is the midterm exam score. Suppose Joe scores an 80 on the midterm exam. What would be the predicted value of his score on the final exam?
A seafood-sales manager collected data on the maximum daily temperature, T, and the daily revenue from salmon sales, R, using sales receipts for 30 days selected at random. Using the data, the manager conducted a regression analysis and found the least-squares regression line to be Rˆ=126+2.37T. A hypothesis test was conducted to investigate whether there is a linear relationship between maximum daily temperature and the daily revenue from salmon sales. The standard error for the slope of the regression line is SEb1=0.65. Assuming the conditions for inference have been met, which of the following is closest to the value of the test statistic for the hypothesis test? t=0.274 A t=0.65 B t=1.54 C t=3.65 D t=193.85 E
