(2.789) (9.641)
(3.301) (5.001)
R² = 0.65
Salary = NHL Player's Salary in $
Goals Number of goals scored by that player
Assists = Number of assists made by that player
Defenseman = Takes on a value of 1 if player is a defenseman. Otherwise, the value of this
variable is zero.
The numbers in brackets are t-statistics for the variables above them.
(a)
What salary will an offensive player make that scores no goals and has no assists?
Interpret the meaning of the R² in words.
(b)
(c)
What is the increase in salary from scoring one more goal (holding the number of assists
constant)?
a. What is a residual?
b. In what sense is the regression line the straight line that "best" fits the points in a scatterplot?
a. What is a residual?
A.
A residual is a value of
y−y,
which is the difference between an observed value of y and a predicted value of y.
B.
A residual is a value that is determined exactly, without any error.
C.
A residual is the amount that one variable changes when the other variable changes by exactly one unit.
D.
A residual is a point that has a strong effect on the regression equation.
b. In what sense is the regression line the straight line that "best" fits the points in a scatterplot?
The regression line has the property that the
▼
sum of squares
sum
of the residuals is the
▼
lowest
highest
possible sum.

- Find the equation of the regression line for the following data set. x 1 2 3 y 0 3 4arrow_forwardOlympic 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_forwardWhat does the y -intercept on the graph of a logistic equation correspond to for a population modeled by that equation?arrow_forward

- 10. Terry's best friend, Heather, is the owner of Heather's Hondas. Like Terry, Heather sells used cars, and she too would like to try to predict the price of a used car based on the number of miles the car was driven by previous owners. When Heather creates a scatterplot, she notices a linear relationship between these two variables, and she obtains the following regression equation. Predicted price = 18855.05 – 0.101(miles) Heather also finds that r-squared is equal to 46.9%. This means the correlation (or r) between price and miles for Heather's sample of cars must be equal to what value?arrow_forwardConsider the following passage: I ran a regression, with many variables to predict the result of another variable which was the murder rate. One can see that lots of things, can cause the murder rate to increase or decrease. I tried to account for all the important factors, and those factors are the SAT scores, unemployment rate, and international migration per 1,000. The SAT score is, average combined total score participants did on the SAT exam. The unemployment rate is, "a measure of the prevalence of unemployment and it is calculated as a percentage by dividing the number of unemployed individuals by all individuals currently in the labor force." (Wikipedia) International migration per 1,000 is, the number of people who come into a state from other countries per 1,000 people who live in the state. After I run the regression I will look at the t scores and p values and I should hopefully conclude that international migration does not cause crime.
