An independent researcher wants to study the factors which affected the prices set by a leading AC manufacturing company, Chester, across the country for the year 2017. She studies whether the
effect on price, of the quantity demanded of ACs by the consumers, is significant or not. She selects a random sample of 200 retail outlets of the company and estimates the following
regression equation:
P-800.75-12.58/n(Q),
(8.98) (7.64)
where is the predicted value of price of the ACs and In(Q) is the logarithm of the quantity demanded of ACs by the consumers. Standard errors are given in parentheses.
The 95% confidence interval for the slope coefficient, will be
(Round your answer to two decimal places. Enter a minus sign if your answer is negative.)
Based on the calculated confidence interval, we can say that at the 5% significance level, we will

Bill wants to explore factors affecting work stress. He would like to examine the relationship between age, number of years at the workplace, perceived social support, and work stress. He collects data on the variables from 100 employees (males and females) working in banks.
Conduct a multiple regression analysis to answer the following questions:
What is the relationship of age, number of years, and social support with work stress?
Is the regression significant? If yes, what does it indicate?
What is the regression equation for all the predictors?
Write a results section based on your analysis that answers the research question.

The largest commercial fishing enterprise in the southeastern United States is the harvest of shrimp. In a study, researchers monitored variables thought to be related to the abundance of white shrimp. One variable the researchers thought might be related to abundance is the amount of oxygen in the water. The relationship between mean catch per tow of white shrimp and oxygen concentration was described by fitting a regression line using data from ten randomly selected offshore sites. (The "catch" per tow is the number of shrimp caught in a single outing.) Computer output is shown below.
The regression equation is
Mean catch per tow = -5855 + 97.4 O2 Saturation

- 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.
