The November 24, 2001, issue of The Economist published economic data for 15
industrialized nations. Included were the percent changes in gross domestic product (GDP),
industrial production (IP), consumer prices (CP), and producer prices (PP) from Fall 2000
to Fall 2001, and the unemployment rate in Fall 2001 (UNEMP). An economist wants to
construct a model to predict GDP from the other variables. A fit of the model
GDP = , + P,IP + 0,UNEMP + f,CP + P,PP + €
yields the following output:
The regression equation is
GDP = 1.19 + 0.17 IP + 0.18 UNEMP + 0.18 CP – 0.18 PP

Consider a linear regression model that relates school expenditures and family background to student performance in Massachusetts using 224 school districts. The response variable is the mean score on the MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) exam given in May 1998 to 10th-graders. Four explanatory variables are used: (1) STR is the student-to-teacher ratio, (2) TSAL is the average teacher’s salary, (3) INC is the median household income, and (4) SGL is the percentage of single family households. The Excel Regression output for the sample regression equation is given below.
(a) What proportion of the variation in MCAS score is explained by the explanatory variables?
(b) At the 5% level, are the explanatory variables jointly significant in explaining MCAS score? Explain briefly.
(c) At the 5% level, which variables are individually significant at predicting MCAS score? Explain briefly.
(d) Suppose a second regression model (Model 2) was generated using only…

- 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.
