Chapter 10.3, Problem 16BSC
Regression and Predictions. Exercises 13-28 use the same data sets as Exercises 13-28 in Section 10-2. In each case, find the regression equation, letting the first variable be the predictor (x) variable. Find the indicated predicted value by following the prediction procedure summarized in Figure 10-5.
16. Altitude and Temperature At 6327 ft (or 6.327 thousand feet), the author recorded the temperature. Find the best predicted temperature at that altitude. How does the result compare to the actual recorded value of 48°F?
| Altitude | 3 | 10 | 14 | 22 | 28 | 31 | 33 |
| Temperature | 57 | 37 | 24 | −5 | −30 | −41 | −54 |

- Does Table 1 represent a linear function? If so, finda linear equation that models the data.arrow_forwardOlympic 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.
