Chapter 4, Problem 11RE
Baby weights: The average gestational age (time from conception to birth) of a newborn infant is about 40 weeks. The following table presents the gestational age (in weeks) and corresponding mean birth weight (in pounds) for female infants born in Canada.
- Compute the least-squares regression he for predicting the birth weight from the gestational age.
- Compute the coefficient of determination.
- Construct a residual plot. Does the relationship appear to be linear?
- True or false: If the coefficient of determination is large, the relationship must be linear.

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. Has this new regression line provided a better prediction than the line in Example 2?arrow_forward
