Chapter 13, Problem 50CE
Mr. William Profit is studying companies going public for the first time. He is particularly interested in the relationship between the size of the offering and the price per share. A sample of 15 companies that recently went public revealed the following information.
- a. Determine the regression equation.
- b. Conduct a test to determine whether the slope of the regression line is positive.
- c. Determine the coefficient of determination. Do you think Mr. Profit should be satisfied with using the size of the offering as the independent variable?

The county assessor is studying housing demand and is interested in developing a regression model to estimate the market value (i.e., selling price) of
residential property within her jurisdiction. The assessor suspects that the most important variable affecting selling price (measured in thousands of
dollars) is the size of house (measured in hundreds of square feet). She randomly selects 15 houses and measures both the selling price and size, as
shown in the following table.
Complete the table and then use it to determine the estimated regression line.

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.
