Comment on the pattern of obtained time series plot.
a.
Answer to Problem 82SE
Output obtained from MINITAB is given below:
The obtained time series plot represents a cyclic pattern of temperature.
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
The data represents the observed value of response variable x at time t. The observed values are
Calculation:
Software Procedure:
Step-by-step procedure to draw the time series plot for temperature using the MINITAB software:
- Choose Graph > Time Series Plot.
- Choose Simple, and then click OK.
- In Series, enter the column of Temperature.
- Click OK.
Observation:
Time series plot shows that the highest temperature is at time 3 and the lowest temperature is at time 6 and 7. From the graph it can be concluded that temperature oscillates with the change in time. Overall the plot represents a cyclic pattern of temperature.

- 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?arrow_forwardWhat does the y -intercept on the graph of a logistic equation correspond to for a population modeled by that equation?arrow_forwardRepeat Example 5 when microphone A receives the sound 4 seconds before microphone B.arrow_forward
