Chapter 12, Problem 60CE
In the following regression, X = weekly pay, Y = income tax withheld, and n = 35 McDonald’s employees. (a) Write the fitted regression equation. (b) State the degrees of freedom for a two-tailed test for zero slope, and use Appendix D to find the critical value at α = .05. (c) What is your conclusion about the slope? (d) Interpret the 95 percent confidence limits for the slope. (e) Verify that F = t2 for the slope. (f) In your own words, describe the fit of this regression.

Students have asked these similar questions
A regression between foot length (response variable in cm) and height (explanatory variable in inches) for 42 students resulted in the following regression equation:
y = 10.4 + 0.21x
If a student happened to be extraordinarily tall (say, 10ft, just for the fun of it) and had a foot size of 25 cm, how might this affect the slope of the regression line?
A statistics professor wants to use the
number of hours a student studies for a
statistic final exam (x) to predict the final
exam score (y). A regression model was fit
based on data collected for a class during
the previous semester, with the following
results: y =35.0 + 3x
Which of the following is the correct
interpretation of the regression coefficient
(slope)?
Select the correct response:
When the student does not study
for the final exam, the mean final
exam score is 35.0.
None of the above are an
interpretation of the slope
For each increase of one hour in
studying time, the mean change in
the final exam score is predicted
to be 35.0
For each increase of one hour in
studying time, the mean change in
the final exam score is predicted
to be 3.0.
Draw the regression line for the following equation:
Y = -3 + (1) X
Show your calculation for a low and high value on the predictor value.

- For the following exercises, use Table 4 which shows the percent of unemployed persons 25 years or older who are college graduates in a particular city, by year.

Round to three decimal places of accuracyarrow_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.
