Which ONE of the following concerns with the assumptions for simple linear regression is NOT indicated by the plots? A straight line does not appear to be a good fit for the data. The scatter about the trend increases as x increases. O There are doubts about the Normality of the errors. The relationship between x and y appears curved. The amount of variability in the residuals appears to depend on x.

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?

A mail-order business selling personal computer supplies, software and hardware maintains a centralized warehouse. Management is currently examining the process of distribution from the warehouse and wants to study the factors that affect the warehouse distribution costs. Data collected over 24 random months contain the warehouse’s distribution cost (in thousands of Rands), the sales (in thousands of Rands) and the number of orders received. A multiple linear regression model was fitted to the data by using Stat1.2. Use the output to answer the questions that follow by typing only the letter of the correct option in the answer boxes.

The Update to the Task Force Report on Blood Pressure Control in Children [12] reported the observed 90th per-centile of SBP in single years of age from age 1 to 17 based on prior studies. The data for boys of average height are given in Table 11.18.
