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?

A correlation of r = .85 is found between weekly sales of firewood and coughdrops over a 1-year period. Which of the following is true? (a) There is a pretty strong positive linear relationship between sales of firewood and cough drops. (b) Fire must be the cause of coughing. (c) Temperature is a possible lurking variable that is “behind” this relationship. (d) Both (a) and (c) are true. (e) None of the above.
Assume that you have collected cross-sectional data for average hourly earnings (ahe), the number of years of education (educ) and gender of the individuals (you have coded individuals as "1" if they are female and "0" if they are male; the name of the resulting variable is DFemme). Having faced recent tuition hikes at your university, you are interested in the return to education, that is, how much more will you earn extra for an additional year of being at your institution. To investigate this question, you run the following regression: ahe= -4.58 + 1.71×educ N = 14,925, R2 = 0.18, SER = 9.30 a. Interpret the regression output. b. Being a female, you wonder how these results are affected if you entered a binary variable (DFemme), which takes on the value of "1" if the individual is a female, and is "0" for males. The result is as follows ahe= = -3.44 - 4.09×DFemme + 1.76×educ N = 14,925, R2 = 0.22, SER = 9.08 Does it make sense that the standard error of the regression decreased…

Suppose that you are modelling cooling costs (y) as a function of the daily high temperature (x) for a building, using a simple linear regression model. You have data consisting of pairs of observations (x, y) over many years. Suppose that from this data you find a Pearson correlation between x and y of 0.5. If tomorrow the temperature is 3 standard deviations above the mean, how many standard deviations above the mean would you expect the cooling costs to be? If it is true that, tomorrow, the temperature is as given in the previous problem, then the expectation that you gave is the exact cooling cost that will occur. True O False
A study was done to investigate the relationship between amount of protix (a new protein-vitamin•-mineral supplement) org a fortified- vitamin rice, known as FVR, and the gain in weight of children. Ten randomly chosen sections of grade one pupils were fed with FVR containing protix; different amounts X of protix were used for the 10 sections. The increase in the weight of each child was measured after a given period. The average gain Y in weight for each section with a prescribed protix level x is as follows; Section(i) Protix(X) Gain(Y) Section(i) Protix(X) Gain(Y) 1 2 3 4 5 50 60 70 80 90 91.6 96.5 95.5 101.3 104.8 6 7 8 9 10 100 110 120 130 140 105.2 107.9 107.4 109.2 109.8 Compute the prediction equation to predict the gain in the weight of a child.
