(a) One of the points in the data set is (4, 37). Calculate the predicted value.
(b) For the point in part (a), calculate the residual.
True or false: “If the errors in a regression model contain ARCH, they must be serially correlated.”

- 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.

- Students who complete their exams early certainly can intimidate the other students, but do the early finishers perform significantly differently than the other students? A random sample of 37 students was chosen before the most recent exam in Prof. J class, and for each student, both the score on the exam and the time it took the student to complete the exam were recorded. a. Find the least-squares regression equation relating time to complete (explanatory variable, denoted by x, in minutes) and exam score (response variable, denoted by y) by considering Sx = 15, sy = 17,r = 39.706, x = 90, ỹ = 78 b. The standard error of the slope of this least-squares regression line was approximately (Sp) is 20.13.
