The operations manager of a musical instrument distributor feels that the demand for Bass Drums may be related to the number of
television appearances by the popular rick group Green Shades during the previous month. The manager has collected the data shown
in the following table.
Demand for Bass Drums
3 6 7 5 10 8
Green Shades TV appearances
3 4 7 6 8 5
Develop the linear regression equation to forecast.
Forecast demand for Bass Drums when Green Shades’ TV appearances are 10.
Compute MSE and standard deviation for Problem 8.
The systolic blood pressure dataset (in the third sheet of the spreadsheet linked above) contains the systolic blood pressure and age of 30 randomly selected patients in a medical facility.
What is the equation for the least square regression line where the independent or predictor variable is age and the dependent or response variable is systolic blood pressure?
Y=__________ X + ______________
Patient 7 is 67 years old and has a systolic blood pressure of 170 mm Hg. What is the residual?
__________ mm Hg
Is the actual value above, below, or on the line?
What is the interpretation of the residual? (difference in actual &predicated bp, difference in age, the amount of systolic changes)
(4) Does how wide a possum's belly is (in cm) tell you how long a possum's tail is (in cm)? That's what re-
searchers in Australia wanted to know. They built a simple linear regression model treating X as the possum's
belly girth and Y as the possum's tail length. Below and at the top of the next page are all the results you will
need to answer the ensuing questions, including:
● The straight line of best fit: ŷ
= 30.2 + .21x
• The correlation between the observed y and predicted ŷ: ry,ŷ
.294
• At the top of the next page are three residual plots: (a) the plot of belly girth vs. the residuals, (b) the plot
of the residuals in order of collection, (c) the histogram of the residuals

These are real data (source) consisting of measurements on each of 104 mountain brushtail possums, trapped
at seven sites from Southern Victoria to central Queensland, Australia.

- 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.
