Chapter 16.2, Problem 13E
Refer to exercise 12.
- a. Develop an estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the average number of birdies per round based upon the percentage of time the player is able to hit a green in regulation.
- b. Develop an estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the average number of birdies per round based upon the percentage of time a player is able to hit a green in regulation, the average driving distance, and the average number of putts per round.
- c. At the .05 level of significance, test whether the two independent variables added in part (b), the average driving distance and the average number of putts per round, contribute significantly to the estimated regression equation developed in part (a). Explain.
The Professional Golfers’ Association of America (PGA) collects a wide variety of performance data for members of the PGA Tour. A portion of the 2012 year-end data for 191 PGA Tour players are contained in the DATAfile named PGATour (CBS Sports website, 2013). For each player the variable named Scoring Avg is the average number of strokes per completed round; GIR is the percentage of time the player is able to hit a green in regulation; DriveDist is the average number of yards per measured drive; PPR is the average number of putts the player takes per round; and BPR is the average number of birdies per round.
- a. Develop an estimated regression equation that can be used to predict Scoring Average given the percentage of time a player is able to hit a green in regulation.
- b. Develop an estimated regression equation that can be used to predict Scoring Average based upon the percentage of time a player is able to hit a green in regulation, the average driving distance, and the average number of putts per round.
- c. At the .05 level of significance, test whether the two independent variables added in part (b), the average driving distance and the average number of putts per round, contribute to the estimated regression equation developed in part (a). Explain.

Wing Foot knows that its stores will not show a profit unless they gross over $940,000 per year. Let A be the event that a new Wing Foot store grosses over $940,000 its first year. Let B be the event that a store grosses over $940,000 its second year. Wing Foot has an administrative policy of closing a new store if it does not show a profit in either of the first two years. Assume that the accounting office at Wing Foot provided the following information: 58% of all Wing Foot stores show a profit the first year; 72% of all Wing Foot store show a profit the second year (this includes stores that did not show a profit the first year); however, 86% of Wing Foot stores that showed a profit the first year also showed a profit the second year.
