Mortgage interest rates. Refer to the data on annual mortgage interest rate (Yt), Exercise 14.41 (p. 14-37). You fit the simple linear regression model, E (Yt) =β0 + β1t, to the data for the years 1990-2015 (t = 0, 1, 2, ... , 25).
a. Find and plot the regression residuals against I. Does the plot suggest the presence of autocorrelation? Explain.
b. Conduct the Durbin-Watson test (at α = .05 ) to test formally for the presence of positively autocorrelated regression errors.
c. Comment on the validity of the inference concerning model adequacy in light of the result of part b.

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.

A minuature horse breeder is interested in the relationship between the size (height) of a miniature horse and the price it sells for. She decides to fit the simple linear regression model: E(y) = β0 + β1x where y = selling price of miniature horse (in $) and x = height of horse (cm).

Toward this goal, the analyst plans to use online trailer views as a predictor. For each of the 66 movies, the number of online trailer views from the release of the trailer through the Saturday before a movie opens and the opening weekend box office gross (in millions of dollars) are collected and stored in the accompanying table. A linear regression was performed on these data, and the result is the linear regression equation Yi=−0.840+1.4108Xi. Determine the coefficient of determination,r2,and interpret its meaning.
