Elementary Statistics: A Step By Step Approach
- 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?arrow_forwardXYZ Corporation Stock Prices The following table shows the average stock price, in dollars, of XYZ Corporation in the given month. Month Stock price January 2011 43.71 February 2011 44.22 March 2011 44.44 April 2011 45.17 May 2011 45.97 a. Find the equation of the regression line. Round the regression coefficients to three decimal places. b. Plot the data points and the regression line. c. Explain in practical terms the meaning of the slope of the regression line. d. Based on the trend of the regression line, what do you predict the stock price to be in January 2012? January 2013?arrow_forwardNoise and Intelligibility Audiologists study the intelligibility of spoken sentences under different noise levels. Intelligibility, the MRT score, is measured as the percent of a spoken sentence that the listener can decipher at a cesl4ain noise level in decibels (dB). The table shows the results of one such test. (a) Make a scatter plot of the data. (b) Find and graph the regression line. (c) Find the correlation coefficient. Is a linear model appropriate? (d) Use the linear model in put (b) to estimate the intelligibility of a sentence at a 94-dB noise level.arrow_forward
