Consider the fitted values from a simple linear regression model with intercept: yˆ = 5 + 6x. Assume that the total number of observations is n = 302. In addition, the R-squared of the regression is R2 = 0.6 and Pn i=1(xi − x¯) 2 = 15, where ¯x is the sample mean of x. Under the classical Gauss-Markov assumptions, a) What is the standard error of the estimated slope coefficient?

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?

A trucking company considered a multiple regression model for relating the dependent variable y = total daily travel time for one of its drivers (hours) to the predictors x₁ = distance traveled (miles) and x₂ = the number of deliveries made. Suppose that the model equation is Y = -0.800+ 0.060x₁ +0.900x₂ + e (a) What is the mean value of travel time when distance traveled is 50 miles and four deliveries are made? hr (b) How would you interpret ₁ = 0.060, the coefficient of the predictor x₁? O When the number of deliveries is constant, the average change in travel time associated with a ten-mile (i.e. one unit) increase in distance traveled is 0.060 hours. O The total daily travel time increases by 0.060 hours when the distance traveled increases by 1. O When the number of deliveries is held fixed, the average change in travel time associated with a one-mile (i.e. one unit) increase in distance traveled is 0.060 hours. O The average change in travel time associated with a one-mile (i.e.…
Interpret the least squares regression line of this data set. Meteorologists in a seaside town wanted to understand how their annual rainfall is affected by the temperature of coastal waters. For the past few years, they monitored the average temperature of coastal waters (in Celsius), x, as well as the annual rainfall (in millimetres), y. Rainfall statistics • The mean of the x-values is 11.503. • The mean of the y-values is 366.637. • The sample standard deviation of the x-values is 4.900. • The sample standard deviation of the y-values is 44.387. • The correlation coefficient of the data set is 0.896. The correct least squares regression line for the data set is: y = 8.116x + 273.273 Use it to complete the following sentence: The least squares regression line predicts an additional annual rainfall if the average temperature of coastal waters increases by one degree millimetres of Celsius.
Suppose that Y is normal and we have three explanatory unknowns which are also normal, and we have an independent random sample of 12 members of the population, where for each member, the value of Y as well as the values of the three explanatory unknowns were observed. The data is entered into a computer using linear regression software and the output summary tells us that R-square is 0.85, the linear model coefficient of the first explanatory unknown is 7 with standard error estimate 2.5, the coefficient for the second explanatory unknown is 11 with standard error 2, and the coefficient for the third explanatory unknown is 15 with standard error 4. The regression intercept is reported as 28. The sum of squares in regression (SSR) is reported as 85000 and the sum of squared errors (SSE) is 15000. From this information, what is SSE/SST?

The administration of a midwestern university commissioned a salary equity study to help establish benchmarks for faculty salaries. The administration utilized the following regression model for annual salary, y : ?(?) β0+β1x ,where ?=0 if lecturer, 1 if assistant professor, 2 if associate professor, and 3 if full professor. The administration wanted to use the model to compare the mean salaries of professors in the different ranks. a) Explain the flaw in the model. b)Propose an alternative model that will achieve the administration’s objective. c) If the global F-test for the model you proposed in 2 is conducted, what would be the value of the numerator degrees of freedom?
