Textbook Question
Chapter 14.3, Problem 40E
The article first introduced in Exercise 14.28 of Section 14.2 in the textbook gave data on the dimensions of 27 representative food products. Use the multiple regression model fit in Exercise 14.28.
- a. Could any of the variables be eliminated from the estimated regression equation for predicting volume?
- b. Predict the volume of a package with a minimum width of 2.5 cm, a maximum width of 3.0 cm, and an elongation of 1.55.
- c. Calculate a 95% prediction interval for the volume of a package with a minimum width of 2.5 cm, a maximum width of 3.0 cm, and an elongation of 1.55.
14.28 This exercise requires the use of a statistical software package. The article “Vital Dimensions in Volume Perception: Can the Eye Fool the Stomach?” (Journal of Marketing Research [1999]: 313-326) gave the data, shown in the table below, on dimensions of 27 representative food products.
- a. Fit a multiple regression model for predicting the volume (in ml) of a package based on its minimum width, maximum width, and elongation score.
- b. Why should we consider adjusted R: instead of R: when evaluating this model?
- c. Carry out a model utility F test.

- 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_forwardA researcher notes that, in a certain region, a disproportionate number of software millionaires were born around the year 1955.
