Chapter 3.4, Problem 44PB
Extrapolating murder The SPSS figure shows the data and regression line for the 50 states in Table 3.6 relating
x = percentage of single-parent families to
y = annual murder rate (number of murders per 100,000 people in the population).
- a. The lowest x value was for Utah and the highest was for Mississippi. Using the figure, approximate those x values.
- b. Using the regression equation stated above the figure, find the predicted murder rate at x = 0. Why is it not sensible to make a prediction at x = 0 based on these data?

Report your answer to the nearest cent. The actual cost was 25cents. c.Plot the data and the exponential model.arrow_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_forward
