7 Consider the long jump data from the start of this Section. a Use the longest jumps to determine the placing of each athlete in the competition. b Out of longest jump or placing, which is the independent variable? c Explain why: i the variable placing is already ranked ii Spearman's correlation coefficient for the variables longest jump and placing must be exactly -1.

A long jump competition took place recently at a local high school. The coach is interested in performing as well as possible in the next competition, so he is looking at the relationship between height and distance jumped (both measured in inches). He uses height to predict distance. The data was analyzed to produce the following regression line: y^ =6.4852+1.0345x A) A certain runner jumped a distance of 84 inches and is 74 inches tall. What is the residual for this runner? (Round to 4 decimal places) B) What is the correlation coefficient? (Round to 4 decimal places) C) Interpret the correlation coefficient that you calculated in part B

We saw the data for the women's 2004 Olympic heptathlon in Exercise $73 .$ Are the two jumping events associated? Perform a regression of the long-jump results on the high-jump results. a) What is the regression equation? What does the slope mean? b) What percentage of the variability in long jumps can be accounted for by high-jump performances? c) Do good high jumpers tend to be good long jumpers? d) What does the residuals plot reveal about the model? e) Do you think this is a useful model? Would you use it to predict long-jump performance? (Compare the residual standard deviation to the standard deviation of the long jumps.)
7. A restaurant owner wants to see if there is a relationship between the amount of sugar in some food items on her menu and how popular the items are. She creates a scatter plot to show the relationship between amount of sugar in menu items and the number of orders for those items. The correlation coefficient for the line of best fit is 0.58. a. Are the two variables correlated? Explain your reasoning. b. Does either of the variables cause the other to change? Explain your reasoning.
