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?

We have data on Lung Capacity of persons and we wish to build a multiple linear regression model that predicts Lung Capacity based on the predictors Age and Smoking Status. Age is a numeric variable whereas Smoke is a categorical variable (0 if non-smoker, 1 if smoker). Here is the partial result from STATISTICA. b* Std.Err. of b* Std.Err. N=725 of b Intercept Age Smoke 0.835543 -0.075120 1.085725 0.555396 0.182989 0.014378 0.021631 0.021631 -0.648588 0.186761 Which of the following statements is absolutely false? A. The expected lung capacity of a smoker is expected to be 0.648588 lower than that of a non-smoker. B. The predictor variables Age and Smoker both contribute significantly to the model. C. For every one year that a person gets older, the lung capacity is expected to increase by 0.555396 units, holding smoker status constant. D. For every one unit increase in smoker status, lung capacity is expected to decrease by 0.648588 units, holding age constant.
In a useful simple linear regression analysis, the independent variable… is used to predict other independent variables is used to predict the dependent variable has no effect on the dependent variable is the variable that is being predicted using the regression equation
In linear regression models, the value of the coefficient of determination indicates the strength and direction of any linear relationship between the variable and the independent/explanatory dependent/response variable. ● True False
According to an article, one may be able to predict an individual's level of support for ecology based on demographic and ideological characteristics. The multiple regression model proposed by the authors was the following. y = 3.60-.01.x₁ +.01.x2-.07x3+.12x4+.02xs-.04x6-.01x7.04x8-.02xg+e The variables are defined as follows. y = ecology score (higher values indicate a greater concern for ecology) x₁ = age times 10 x₂ = income (in thousands of dollars) x3 = gender (1 = male, 0 = female) X4 = race (1 = white, 0 = nonwhite) X5 = education (in years) x6 = ideology (4 = conservative, 3 = right of center, 2 = middle of the road, 1 = left of center, and 0 = liberal) X7 = social class (4 = upper, 3 = upper middle, 2 = middle, 1 = lower middle, 0 = lower) x8 = postmaterialist (1 if postmaterialist, 0 otherwise) x9 = materialist (1 if materialist, O otherwise) (a) Suppose you knew a person with the following characteristics: a 30 year old, white female with a college degree (20 years of…
An assumption of regression analysis is homoscedasticity, which states that the residuals exhibit no patterns across values for the dependent variable. relationship between the independent and dependent variables is linear. residuals exhibit no patterns across values for the independent variable. variation of the dependent variable is the same across all values for the independent variable.
A simple linear regression that describes the effect of individuals’ cigarette smoking on health is given by Health = α + β * cigarettes + u, where Health is a measure of health that is on the scale of 1 to 5, where 1 means excellent health and 5 means poor health. So the bigger the number, the worse the health. cigarettes is the average number of cigarettes smoked per day; the unobservable u is an individual’s health consciousness. Note that health conscious person tends to live a healthy life in general. What will happen to β if cigarettes is in terms of weekly rather than daily?
In linear regression analysis, the coefficient for the x-variable when the y-variable is regressed on the x-variable can be thought of as: Note: more than one answer may be correct Group of answer choices How much the value of the predicted y-variable will change when the x-variable changes by one unit. In the simple (two variable) linear regression model, the coefficient can be thought as the slope coefficient that measures the responsiveness of y to changes in x. The estimated coefficient will change if the sample containing x and y changes. The sample coefficient is an estimate of the population coefficient Before interpreting the coefficient for the x-variable, we should test whether the coefficient is statistically significant.
