Question

Marriage Age 2010 The graph shows the ages of both
men and women at first marriage (www.census.gov).

Clearly, the patterns for men and women are similar. But
are the two lines getting closer together?
Here’s a timeplot showing the difference in average age
(men’s age - women’s age) at first marriage, the regres-
sion analysis, and the associated residuals plot.a) What is the correlation between Age Difference and Year?
b) Interpret the slope of this line.c) Predict the average age difference in 2015.
d) Describe reasons why you might not place much faith
in that prediction.
