- Find the equation of the regression line for the following data set. x 1 2 3 y 0 3 4arrow_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. Has this new regression line provided a better prediction than the line in Example 2?arrow_forwardAnswer the following: 2.

One animal is farthest from the regression line and is an outlier for these two variables. Find the name of this animal and write a sentence describing how its position differs from the overall relationship among the other animals. 5. The elephant has the longest gestation period of these animals. a. Considering only the gestation variable, would you say that the elephant is an outlier? Write a sentence or two explaining why or why not? b. Considering both variables and the relationship between average life span and average gestation period, would you say the elephant is an outlier now?

Meteorologists in a seaside town wanted to understand how their annual rainfall is affected by the temperature of coastal waters. For the past few years, they monitored the average temperature of coastal waters (in Celsius), x, as well as the annual rainfall (in millimetres), y. Rainfall statistics • The mean of the x-values is 11.503. • The mean of the y-values is 366.637. • The sample standard deviation of the x-values is 4.900. • The sample standard deviation of the y-values is 44.387. • The correlation coefficient of the data set is 0.896. The correct least squares regression line for the data set is: y = 8.116x + 273.273 Use it to complete the following sentence: The least squares regression line predicts an additional annual rainfall if the average temperature of coastal waters increases by one degree millimetres of Celsius.arrow_forwardMoisture content in percent by volume (x) and conductivity in mS/m (y) were measured for 50 soil specimens.
