Rankings of research universities. Refer to the College Choice 2015 Rankings of National Research Universities, Exercise 11.431 (p. 639). Now consider a simple linear regression model for a university’s academic reputation score (y), using early career median salary (x) as the independent variable. Is there sufficient evidence of a positive linear relationship between academic reputation score and early career median salary? Test using α − .05. Does your conclusion change if you use α − .01?

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.
