Students have asked these similar questions
With respect to regression, the ___________ will increase anytime you increase the number of observations unless each observation has a residual equal to zero.
B. What is the best predicted temperature for a time when a bug is chirping at the rate of 3000 chirps per minute?
The best predicted temperature when a bug is chirping at 3000 chirps per minute is____°F.
C. What is wrong with this predicted value?
The first variable should have been the dependent variable.
It is unrealistically high. The value 3000 is far outside of the range of observed values.
It is only an approximation. An unrounded value would be considered accurate.
Nothing is wrong with this value. It can be treated as an accurate prediction.

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.
