Answer
a. see table;
b. $y = 0.0093x + 5.6638$
c. see graph, the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data;
d. $6.036m$. larger than 5.97 m. Yes.
Work Step by Step
a. see table;
b. $y = 0.0093x + 5.6638$
c. see graph, the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data;
d. 2012 corresponds to $x=40$ and $y=6.036m$. This value is larger than
the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m. This new regression line provided
a better prediction than the line in Example 2, as the earlier prediction was 6.33m.
