The datasetBody.xlsgives the percent of weight made up of body fat for 100 men as well as other variables such as Age, Weight (lb), Height (in), and circumference (cm) measurements for the Neck, Chest, Abdomen, Ankle, Biceps, and Wrist. We are interested in predicting body fat based on abdomen circumference.
Find the equation of the regression line relating to body fat and abdomen circumference.
Make a scatter-plot with a regression line. What body fat percent does the line predict for a person with an abdomen circumference of 110 cm?
One of the men in the study had an abdomen circumference of 92.4 cm and a body fat of 22.5 percent. Find the residual that corresponds to this observation.

Read the following description of a data set.
Charles's landscape architecture firm won a contract to design a new public
playground in Seville. To decide how many swings to include, Charles collected
information about other playgrounds in the city.
For each playground, he recorded the area (in square metres), x, and the
number of swings, y.
The least squares regression line of this data set is:
y = 0.106x + 6.784
Complete the following sentence:
For each additional square metre of area, the least squares regression line predicts that a
playground would have
more swings.

- 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.

- Mark Price, the new productions manager for Speakers and Company, needs to find out which variable most affects the demand for their line of company speakers. He is uncertain whether the unit price of the product or the effects of increased marketing are the main drivers in sales and wants to use regression analysis to figure out which factor drives more demand for its particular market. Pertinent information was collected by an extensive marketing project that lasted over the past 12 years and was reduced to the data that follow: YEAR 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 B 9 10 11 12 UNIT SALES (THOUSANDS) 398 698 898 y bar 1,304 1,163 1,195 898 1,200 982 1,235 875 811 PRICE $ PER UNIT 283 209 213 220 209 200 220 209 230 213 216 243 ADVERTISING ($000) 621 821 1,200 1,405 1,210 1,304 875 1,200 691 875 691 691 a.
