The measure of standard error can also be applied to the parameter estimates resulting from linear regressions.
For example, consider the following linear regression equation that describes the relationship between education and wage:
WAGEi=β0+β1EDUCi+εi
where WAGEi is the hourly wage of person i (i.e., any specific person) and EDUCi is the number of years of education for that same person. The residual εi encompasses other factors that influence wage, and is assumed to be uncorrelated with education and have a mean of zero.
Suppose that after collecting a cross-sectional data set, you run an OLS regression to obtain the following parameter estimates:
WAGEi=−11.5+6.1 EDUCi
If the standard error of the estimate of β1 is 1.32, then the true value of β1 lies between(4.78, 4.12, 3.46, 5.44) and (6.76, 7.42, 8.74) . As the number of observations in a data set grows, you would expect this range to (DECREASE , INCREASE) in size.
A high school administrator is interested in determining the relationship between high school students' final
grades in geometry and chemistry. She randomly samples 400 students who took both classes and records
their final scores (out of 100 points) and carries out a simple linear regression, using the geometry grade as
the response variable and the chemistry grade as the explanatory variable, since the students take
chemistry before geometry. The resulting data was used to produce the following output.
Simple linear regression results:
Dependent Variable: Geometry
Independent Variable: Chemistry

The least-squares regression equation is y=620.6x+16,624 where y is the median income and x is the percentage of 25 years and older with at least a bachelor's degree in the region. The scatter diagram indicates a linear relation between the two variables with a correlation coefficient of 0.7004.
In a particular region, 28.3 percent of adults 25 years and older have at least a bachelor's degree. The median income in this region is $37,389. Is this income higher than what you would expect? Why?

- 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.

Let x represent the year, with x=8 corresponding to 2008. (b) Use the linear regression capabilities of a graphing utility to find a linear model for the data. How does this model compare with the model obtained in part a? (c) Use the linear model to create a table of estimated values for y.

- Some states permit only licensed firms to sell funeral goods (for example, caskets, urns) to the consumer, while other states have no restrictions. Researchers used multiple regression to investigate the impact of lifting casket sales restrictions on the cost of a funeral. Data collected for a sample of 1,473 funerals was used to fit the model. A simpler version of the model estimated by the researchers is E(y) = Bo + B,x, + B2X2 + B3x,x2, where y is the price (in dollars) of a direct burial, x, = {1 if funeral home is in a restricted state, 0 if not}, and x, = {1 if price includes a basic wooden casket, 0 if no casket}.
