The article "Earthmoving Productivity Estimation Using Linear Regression Techniques" (S.
Smith, Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 1999:133–141) presents the
following linear model to predict earth-moving productivity (in m3 moved per hour):
Productivity = - 297.877 + 84.787x, + 36.806x, + 151.680x, – 0.081x, – 110.517x5
- 0.267.x, – 0.016x,x, +0.107.x,x5 + 0.0009448x,x, – 0.244x;x,
where
X1 = number of trucks
X2 = number of buckets per load
X3 = bucket volume, in m³
X4 = haul length, in m
X5 = match factor (ratio of hauling capacity to loading capacity)
X6 = truck travel time, in s
If the bucket volume increases by 1 m², while other independent variables are
unchanged, can you determine the change in the predicted productivity? If so,
determine it. If not, state what other information you would need to determine it.

productivity? If so, determine it. If not, state what other…

To the nearest whole number, what is the limiting value of this model?arrow_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.
