Chapter A, Problem 19RP
Annual Income. Refer to Problem 18 and the computer output in Output A.21. In the last lines of the output you will find information on annual income of males who are 32 years old and have completed exactly 4 years of college (i.e., 16 years of school). Presuming that the assumptions for regression inferences are met, use Output A.21 to solve the following problems.
- a. Find a point estimate for the
mean annual income of all males who are 32 years old and have completed exactly 4 years of college (i.e., 16 years of school). - b. Obtain a 95% confidence interval for the mean annual income of all males who are 32 years old and have completed exactly 4 years of college.
- c. Determine the predicted annual income of a randomly selected male who is 32 years old and has completed exactly 4 years of college.
- d. Find a 95% prediction interval for the annual income of a randomly selected male who is 32 years old and has completed exactly 4 years of college.

Mark Price, the new productions manager for Speakers and Company, needs to find out which variable most affects the demand for their line of stereo speakers. He is uncertain whether the unit price of the product or the effects of increased marketing are the main drivers in sales and wants to use regression analysis to figure out which factor drives more demand for their particular market. Pertinent information was collected by an extensive marketing project that lasted over the past 10 years and was reduced to the data that follow:

- 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.

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_forward
