What does the y -intercept on the graph of a logistic equation correspond to for a population modeled by that equation?
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?

Charlie wants to know if a linear relationship exists between the number of toys a child has and his/her GMRC grade. The sample Pearson's product moment correlation coefficient, r is equal to 0. This means there is no relationship between the number of toys and GMRC grade of the sampled children. True False
The Pearson's r correlation between two variables X and Y is calculated to be 0.6. What can be concluded from this correlation coefficient about the relationship between X and Y?
A set of n = 15 pairs of scores (X and Y values) has SSX = 4, SSY = 25, and SP = 6. What is the Pearson correlation for these data? a. 6/10 b. 6/(100–15)) c. 6/100 d. 6/(100/15)
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.

One of nature's patterns connects the percent of adult birds in a colony that return from the previous year and the number of new adults that join the colony. Here are data for 10 colonies of sparrowhawks: 81 Percent return, X New adults, Y 74 6 66 52 73 62 52 12 15 16 45 17 62 18 46 18 11 (a) Draw a scatter plot of the data. (b) Find the equation of the least squares regression line for predicting y from x using the information below: n=10 >x, = 613 , Ex = 38959, Ey; = 126, Ey = 1808, Ex,y; = 7333 (Show the details of your work.) X denotes the percent of adult sparrowhawks that return to a colony from the previous year, and Y denotes the number of new adult birds that join the colony.
