Textbook Question
Chapter B.5, Problem 97E
Answer true or false to each of the following statements and explain your answers.
- a. The forward selection method and backward elimination method always give the same final regression equation.
- b. In stepwise regression, to avoid the possibility of removing a predictor variable entered at the same step, we must have tenter ≥ tremove.
- c. At each step of the forward selection method, the number of regression equations that must be obtained is equal to the number of predictor variables that have not been entered into the regression equation.

- 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_forwardCellular Phone Subscribers The table shows the numbers of cellular phone subscribers y in millions in the United States from 2008 through 2013.
