Suppose Connie used regression to predict the height of a woman’s current boyfriend by using her own height as the explanatory variable. Height was measured in feet from a sample of 100 women undergraduates, and their boyfriends, at De La Salle Lipa. Now, suppose that the height of both the women and the men are converted to centimeters. The impact of this conversion on the slope is:
the magnitude of the slope will change
neither the sign nor magnitude of the slope will change
the sign of the slope will change
both the sign and magnitude of the slope will change

- 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_forwardThe following fictitious table shows kryptonite price, in dollar per gram, t years after 2006. t= Years since 2006 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 K= Price 56 51 50 55 58 52 45 43 44 48 51 Make a quartic model of these data.
