Large Data Sets. Exercises 29-32 use the same Appendix B data sets as Exercises 29-32 in Section 10-1. In each case, find the regression equation, letting the first variable be the predictor (x) variable. Find the indicated predicted values following the prediction procedure summarized in Figure 10-5 on page 493.

- 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?arrow_forwardRegression and Predictions.

Oscars Using the listed actress/actor ages, find the best predicted age of the Best Actor given that the age of the Best Actress is 54 years. Is the result reasonably close to the Best Actor’s (Eddie Redmayne) actual age of 33 years, which happened in 2015, when the Best Actress was Julianne Moore, who was 54 years of age?arrow_forwardRegression and Predictions.
