Gold medal heights
Aim:
The aim of this task is to consider the winning height for the men’s high jump in the Olympic Games.
Introduction:
The Olympic Games which are held in every four years have an event called Men’s High Jump and usually an athlete tries to jump over a bar which is set up in a certain range from1 meter to 3 meters. The table 1 shows the record of the gold medalists during the Olympic Games held during 1932 to 1980. Note: The Olympic Games were not held in 1940 and 1944.
Table 1 Year | 1932 | 1936 | 1948 | 1952 | 1956 | 1960 | 1964 | 1968 | 1972 | 1976 | 1980 | Height(cm) | 197 | 203 | 198 | 204 | 212 | 216 | 218 | 224 | 223 | 225 | 236 |
Variables:
Independent Variables:
The heights that are achieved by the gold medalists
Dependent Variables:
The years of Olympic Games
Figure 1:

From the figure 1, the independent variables are the x axis which shows the years of the Olympic Games, and y axis is the dependent variables which represents the heights that are achieved by the gold medalists. Also it shows that it is not constant.

Linear Regression
To create a certain equation, you draw the best fit line on the graph.
The difference between the red graph and the linear function is that the red does not have a predictable pattern. When the best fit is drawn it is possible to find the equation of this graph. Though the equation that is made by the best fit and three points on the graph is actually on the line, there is a limit. Such as the y axis which represents the height that the gold medalist achieved cannot be under zero because it is impossible for a person to jump under the ground. Also as you see in the graph, after the War World Ⅱ, it decreased a bit then it started to increase little by little. However, on linear regression, there isn’t any sign that it is decreasing. Since we can’t guarantee that it will increase constantly, it is not a best idea to state this is a

    There is an association between the amount of cigarettes smoked and deaths from CHD. The association has a positive direction. This means as the amount of cigarettes smoked increases, so does the deaths from CHD. The association also has a linear from which means the two variables are related. It is also moderately strong. A linear regression is done next. Three conditions are checked to make sure the data is appropriate to be used. The variables are both quantitative. The scatter plot, Graph A, shows that the graph could be straight enough, and there may be an outlier but to continue with caution. Graph B, shows the line of best fit, and shows that the residuals are about equal on both sides. The model has a correlation of .731, which describes that it’s moderately strong. The line has an “r” squared of 53.4%. This means that the change in cigarette consumption accounts for 53.4% of the CHD deaths per 100,000The slope of line is .06. In context this means that, according to our model, as the cigarette consumption per adult per year increases by 1, the CHD death per 100,000 is expected to increase about .06. The y-intercept of the line is 15.64. This means in context that, according to our model when the deaths from CHD are at 0, the cigarette consumption is at 15.64. This means that is someone were to smoke about 16 cigarettes, the death rate would be a 0, which would be a good thing. The benefits of the U.S of reaching the “national goal” of cutting cigarette…
