Chapter 15.7, Problem 34E
Management proposed the following regression model to predict sales at a fast-food outlet.
y = β0 + β1x1 + β2x2 + β3x3 + ε
where
x1 = number of competitors within one mile
x2 = population within one mile (1000s)
y = sales ($1000s)
The following estimated regression equation was developed after 20 outlets were surveyed.
ŷ = 10.1 − 4.2x1 + 6.8x2 + 15.3x3
- a. What is the expected amount of sales attributable to the drive-up window?
- b. Predict sales for a store with two competitors, a population of 8000 within one mile, and no drive-up window.
- c. Predict sales for a store with one competitor, a population of 3000 within one mile, and a drive-up window.

sold homes in the space, the following variables are used in a multiple regression model.
y = sales price (in thousands of dollars)

total floor area (in square feet)
x₂ =
number of bedrooms
x3 distance to nearest high school (in miles)
=
The estimated model is as follows.
=76+0.098x₁ +16x₂ - 8x3

(a) Holding the other variables fixed, what is the average change in sales price for each
additional bedroom in a house?
dollars
(b) Is this change an increase or a decrease?

- 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.
