Chapter 9, Problem 18E
More hill races Here is the regression for the women’s records for the same Scottish hill races we considered in Exercise 14:
Dependent variable is: Women’s Time (mins)
R-squared = 96.7% s = 10.06
| Variable | Coefficient |
| Intercept | –11.6545 |
| Climb (m) | 0.045195 |
| Distance | 4.43427 |
- a) Compare the regression model for the women’s records with that found for the men’s records in Exercise 14.
Here’s a
- b) Discuss the residuals and what they say about the assumptions and conditions for this regression.

Ozone The Environmental Protection Agency is examin-ing the relationship between the ozone level (in parts per
million) and the population (in millions) of U.S. cities.Part of the regression analysis is shown.Dependent variable is: OzoneR-squared = 84.4%s = 5.454 with 16 - 2 = 14 dfVariable Coefficient SE(Coeff)Intercept 18.892 2.395Pop 6.650 1.910a) We suspect that the greater the population of a city, thehigher its ozone level. Is the relationship significant?Assuming the conditions for inference are satisfied,
test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclu-sion in context.
b) Do you think that the population of a city is a usefulpredictor of ozone level? Use the values of both R2and s in your explanation.
The accompanying table shows results from regressions performed on data from a random sample of 21 cars. The response (y) variable is CITY (fuel consumption in mi/gal). The predictor (x) variables are WT (weight in pounds), DISP (engine
displacement in liters), and HWY (highway fuel consumption in mi/gal). Which regression equation is best for predicting city fuel consumption? Why?
E Click the icon to view the table of regression equations.
Choose the correct answer below.
O A. The equation CITY = 6.65 - 0.00161WT + 0.675HWY is best because it has a low P-value and the highest adjusted value of R2.
O B. The equation CITY = 6.83 - 0.00132WT - 0.253DISP + 0.654HWY is best because it has a low P-value and the highest value of R?.
OC. The equation CITY = 6.83 - 0.00132WT - 0.253DISP + 0.654HWY is best because it uses all of the available predictor variables.
O D. The equation CITY = - 3.14 + 0.823HWY is best because it has a low P-value and its R2 and adjusted R? values are comparable to…

- Demand for Candy Bars In this problem you will determine a linear demand equation that describes the demand for candy bars in your class. Survey your classmates to determine what price they would be willing to pay for a candy bar. Your survey form might look like the sample to the left. a Make a table of the number of respondents who answered yes at each price level. b Make a scatter plot of your data. c Find and graph the regression line y=mp+b, which gives the number of respondents y who would buy a candy bar if the price were p cents. This is the demand equation. Why is the slope m negative? d What is the p-intercept of the demand equation? What does this intercept tell you about pricing candy bars?

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.
