Textbook Question
Chapter B.2, Problem 49E
Silica Gel. Refer to Exercise B.46, where the problem is to determine a quadratic regression equation relating silica gel density to pH and setting time. Use the technology of your choice to obtain computer output similar to Outputs B.39–B.42 on pages B-59–B-61.
- a. Based on the
correlation coefficients between density and the first-and second-order terms in the centered predictor variable pHc and settimec, which terms are most highly correlated with density? What are the correlation coefficients between the first-and second-order terms? Will thesecorrelations adversely affect the ability to assess the effect of a term in the presence of the other terms? Explain your answer. - b. Consult the computer output that gives the results of the second-order polynomial
regression analysis of density on the centered predictor variables pHc and settimec. Based on the t-tests for the individual utility of each term in the model, which terms would you retain in the regression equation? Is it appropriate to use the t-tests here? - c. Use the plots of residuals versus fitted values, residuals versus pHc, and residuals versus settimec, and also the normal probability plot of the residuals, to assess the appropriateness of the regression equation, constancy of the conditional standard deviations, and normality of the conditional distributions. Check for outliers and influential observations.
- d. Does your analysis in part (c) reveal any violations of the assumptions for regression inferences? Explain.

Part I. Run two regressions in Excel using the provided Excel file “Layoffs”.The Excel file Layoffs provides data on 50 manufacturing workers who lost their jobs due to layoffs. The
data includes the following list of variables:Weeks – the number of weeks a manufacturing worker has been without a jobAge – the age of the workerEducation – the number of years of education of the workerMarried – a dummy variable, equal to 1 if the worker is married, 0 otherwiseHead – a dummy variable, equal to 1 if the worker is a head of household, 0 otherwiseTenure – the number of years on the previous jobManager – a dummy variable, equal to 1 if the worker had a management occupation, 0 otherwise Sales – a dummy variable, equal to 1 if the worker had an occupation in sales, 0 otherwise

We have data on Lung Capacity of persons and we wish
to build a multiple linear regression model that predicts
Lung Capacity based on the predictors Age and
Smoking Status. Age is a numeric variable whereas
Smoke is a categorical variable (0 if non-smoker, 1 if
smoker). Here is the partial result from STATISTICA.

- 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.
