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. Has this new regression line provided a better prediction than the line in Example 2?
The least-squares regression equation is y=620.6x+16,624 where y is the median income and x is the percentage of 25 years and older with at least a bachelor's degree in the region. The scatter diagram indicates a linear relation between the two variables with a correlation coefficient of 0.7004. In a particular region, 28.3 percent of adults 25 years and older have at least a bachelor's degree. The median income in this region is $37,389. Is this income higher than what you would expect? Why?
Suppose that we take a data set, divide it into equally-sized training and test sets, and then try out two different classification procedures. First we use logistic regression and get an error rate of 20% on the training data and 30% on the test data. Next we use 1-nearest neighbors (i.e. K = 1) and get an average error rate (averaged over both test and training data sets) of 18%. Based on these results, which method should we prefer to use for classification of new observations? Why?

Consider a model with an interaction term between being female and being married. The dependent variable is the log of the hourly wage: log(wage) = 0.151 - 0.038 female + 0.1 married - 0.301 female* married + 0.079 educ + 0.027 exper+0.029 tenure (0.072) (0.056) (0.055) (0.007) (0.005) (0.007) n = 536, R2 = 0.461 Numbers in parantheses are standard errors of coefficients. Given the estimation result and the observation number fill in the blanks below which aim at discussing the statistical significance of variables. The test statistic of the interaction term is The critical value at 1% significance level is Then the interaction term statistically significant at 1% significance level. (Hint: to fill the blank make a choice between "is" and "is not".)
