X” denote the number of children ever born to a woman, and let “Y” denote years ofeducation for the woman. A simple model relating fertility to years of education is
X = β0 + β1Y + u
where u is the unobserved error.
(i) What kind of factors are contained in u? Are these likely to be correlated with level of education?
There is a relation between the following variables as y = 1 / (a * x ^ b) (x ^ b means x over b) a) Calculate the correlation coefficient and interpret the degree of the relationship? b) Estimate the y-value for x = 4.3 and the x-value for y = 0.90 by obtaining the regression equation
Consider a linear regression model for the decrease in blood pressure (mmHg) over a four-week period with muy=2.8+0.8x and standard deviation chi=3.2. The explanatory variable x is the number of servings fruits and vegetables in a calorie-controlled diet.
Using the 68-95-99.7 rule, between what two values would approximately 95% of the observed responses, y, fall when x = 7?

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.
