In regression, what do residuals tell us? The amount of error between the predicted y-values and the actual y-values. Residuals tell us how close the predicted values are to the average of the y variable at each value of the x-variable. How much error there was in predicting the x-variable from the actual value for the x-variable. How much the predicted values for the y- variable are different from the pointof-averages.

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?
At the end of the semester the lecturer runs a regression using the student's final grade as the dependent variable and a male dummy (equals one if the student is male and equals zero otherwise) as the sole explanatory variable. If the estimated intercept is 67 and the estimated coefficient on the male dummy is -4 then what is the estimated mean mark for males in this course?
We wish to determine if there is a correlation between the birth weight (in grams) of nine newborn infants and the length of their mothers’ stay (in days) in the hospital. The results of a correlation and regression analysis are indicated in the Excel output below. The mean birth weight of the newborn infants (the independent variable) was 3162.5 grams, and the mean length of their mothers’ stay in the hospital (the dependent variable) was 7 days.
