a. Develop an estimated regression equation with the amount of television advertising as the independent variable (to 1 decimal).
13. Examine the following regression equation and answer the questions that follow:
Salary = 261,128 +91,569Goals + 16,346Assists - 585,560.Defenseman
(2.789) (9.641)
(3.301) (5.001)
R² = 0.65
Salary = NHL Player's Salary in $
Goals Number of goals scored by that player
Assists = Number of assists made by that player
Defenseman = Takes on a value of 1 if player is a defenseman. Otherwise, the value of this
variable is zero.
The numbers in brackets are t-statistics for the variables above them.

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_forward
