- 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_forwardThe St. Lucian Government is interested in predicting the number of weekly riders on the public buses using the following variables: • • • • Price of bus trips per weekThe population in the cityThe monthly income of ridersAverage rate to park your personal vehicle Determine the multiple regression equation for the data.

- Stoaches are fictional creatures that nest in truffula forests. A researcher wants to know whether there is a relationship between a stoach’s wingspan (?W, the predictor) and its nest height (?H, the response). A sample of 88 stoaches is observed, and for each, the wing-span (in cm) and the nest height (in m) are recorded. The observed data meet the assumptions for a linear regression, so the researcher fits the regression model and obtains a regression equation ℎ̂=−0.813+0.177?,h^=−0.813+0.177w, with standard error for the coefficient of ?w equal to 0.448.
