Answer true or false to each of the following statements and explain your answers.
- a. The adjusted-R2 criterion and Mallows’ Cp criterion for all subsets regression always identify different subsets.
- b. For subsets containing the same number of predictor variables, the value of R2 can be used to select the best subset.
- c. A plot of the maximum value of R2 for each subset size versus subset size will never decrease as subset size increases.

A pediatrician wants to determine the relation that exists between a child's height, x, and head circumference, y. She randomly selects 11 children from her
practice, measures their heights and head circumferences, and obtains the accompanying data. Complete parts (a) through (g) below.

(a) Find the least-squares regression line treating height as the explanatory variable and head circumference as the response variable.
y = .169 x+ ( 12.9)
(Round the slope to three decimal places and round the constant to one decimal place as needed.)

- Find the equation of the regression line for the following data set. x 1 2 3 y 0 3 4arrow_forwardOlympic 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.

- The agronomist believed that the amount of rainfall as well as the amount of fertilizer used would affect the crop yield. She did the experiment in the following way. Thirty greenhouses were rented. In each, the amount of fertilizer and the amount of water were varied. At the end of the growing season, the amount of corn was recorded. Use ?=0.05 a) Determine the sample regression line and interpret the coefficients b) Do these data allow us to infer that there is a linear relationship between the amount of fertilizer and the crop yield? c) Do these data allow us to infer that there is a linear relationship between the amount of water and the crop yield? d) What can you say about the fit of the multiple regression model? e) Is it reasonable to believe that the error variable is normally distributed with constant variance (Support your answer)?
