Chapter 15.3, Problem 18E
Refer to exercise 10, where Major League Baseball (MLB) pitching statistics were reported for a random sample of 20 pitchers from the American League for one full season.
- a. In part (c) of exercise 10, an estimated regression equation was developed relating the average number of runs given up per inning pitched given the average number of strikeouts per inning pitched and the average number of home runs per inning pitched. What are the values of R2 and
- b. Does the estimated regression equation provide a good fit to the data? Explain.
- c. Suppose the earned run average (ERA) is used as the dependent variable in part (c) instead of the average number of runs given up per inning pitched. Does the estimated regression equation that uses the ERA provide a good fit to the data? Explain.

Suppose the athletic director at a university would like to develop a regression model to predict the point differential for games played by the men's basketball team. A point differential is the difference between the final points scored by two competing teams. A positive differential is a win, and a negative differential is a loss. For a random sample of games, the point differential was calculated, along with the number of assists, rebounds, turnovers, and personal fouls. Use the data in the accompanying table attached below to complete parts a through e below. Assume a = 0.05.
a) Using technology, construct a regression model using all three independent variables.
y = __ + (_)x1 + (_)x2 + (_)x3 + (_)x4
b) Test the significance of each independent variable using a= 0.10.
c) interpret the p-value for each independent variable.

a. Develop a scatter chart for these data. What does the scatter chart indicate about therelationship between age of a bus and the annual maintenance cost?b. Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation that could be used to predictthe annual maintenance cost given the age of the bus. What is the estimated regressionmodel?c. Test whether each of the regression parameters b0 and b1 is equal to zero at a 0.05level of significance. What are the correct interpretations of the estimated regressionparameters? Are these interpretations reasonable?d. How much of the variation in the sample values of annual maintenance cost does themodel you estimated in part b explain?e. What do you predict the annual maintenance cost to be for a 3.5-year-old bus?
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?

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?
