Chapter 16.1, Problem 5E
In working further with the problem of exercise 4, statisticians suggested the use of the following curvilinear estimated regression equation.
ŷ = b0 + b1x + b2x2
- a. Use the data of exercise 4 to estimate the parameters of this estimated regression equation.
- b. Use α = .01 to test for a significant relationship.
- c. Predict the traffic flow in vehicles per hour at a speed of 38 miles per hour.
4. A highway department is studying the relationship between traffic flow and speed. The following model has been hypothesized.
y = β0 + β1x + ε
where
y = traffic flow in vehicles per hour
x = vehicle speed in miles per hour
The following data were collected during rush hour for six highways leading out of the city.
| Traffic Flow (y) | Vehicle Speed (x) |
| 1256 | 35 |
| 1329 | 40 |
| 1226 | 30 |
| 1335 | 45 |
| 1349 | 50 |
| 1124 | 25 |
- a. Develop an estimated regression equation for the data.
- b. Use α = .01 to test for a significant relationship.

- 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.

- 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: WAGE; = Bo + B1 EDUC; + e: where WAGE; is the hourly wage of person i (i.e., any specific person) and EDUC; is the number of years of education for that same person. The residual e; 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: WAGE; = –11.1+6.2 EDUC; If the standard error of the estimate of B, is 1.34, then the true value of B1 lies between and As the number of observations in a data set grows, you would expect this range to in size.arrow_forwardAn agent for a real estate company in a large city would like to be able to predict the monthly rental cost for apartments, based on the size of the apartment, as defined by square footage.
