Chapter 4.2, Problem 25E
Foot temperatures: Foot ulcers are a common problem for people with diabetes. Higher skin temperatures on the foot indicate an increased risk of ulcers. In a study carried out at the Colorado School of Mines, skin temperatures on both feet were measured, in degrees Fahrenheit, for 18 diabetic patients. The results are presented in the following table.
- Compute due least-squares regression line for predicting right foot temperature from the left foot temperature.
- Construct a scatter-plot (y) versus the left foot temperature Graph the least-squares regression line on the same axes.
- If the left foot temperatures of two patients differ by 2 degrees: by how much would you predict their right foot temperatures to differ?
- Predict the right foot temperature for a patient whose left foot temperature is 81 degrees.

Draw a scatterplot of the right foot temperature (y) versus the left foot temperature (x). Then draw the least-squares
regression line on the graph.
We have data from 209 publicly traded companies (circa 2010) indicating sales and compensation
information at the firm-level. We are interested in predicting a company's sales based on the CEO's
salary. The variable sales; represents firm i's annual sales in millions of dollars. The variable
salary; represents the salary of a firm i's CEO in thousands of dollars. We use least-squares to
estimate the linear regression
sales; = a + ßsalary; + ei
and get the following regression results:
regress sales salary

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.

To test whether CEO compensation and a company's stock performance are related, a financial analyst collected data on 12 randomly selected, publicly traded companies. For each company, the analyst looked at two variables: the percent change in stock price over the past five years (which she denoted x ) and the percent change in CEO compensation over the past five years (which she denoted y ). For these 12 companies, the least-squares regression equation relating the two variables was =y+−0.1650.046x , and the standard error of the slope of this least-squares regression line was approximately 0.028 . Using her information, test for a significant linear relationship between these two variables by doing a hypothesis test regarding the population slope β1 .
