Morning all

I tried to do a logistic regression to the data below (Year and High Jump Height) originally on the TI84 - it didn't work and gave a domain error message. I then used the Nspire and it didn't work with d=0, but did work for d not=0.

However, when I got rid of the first two pieces of data (1932 and 1936) it worked on all calculators.

Is it because the data "kicks" at the start?

Any advice/comments?

1932 197
1936 203
1948 198
1952 204
1956 212
1960 216
1964 218
1968 224
1972 223
1976 225
1980 236

Regards John

Great observation - the more elegant regressions are very sensitive to the
data!

I saw some data on the swine flu when it was raging. See attached... follow
the instructions on the Notes page. Interesting that the regression fails at
first but when you change one point the regression graph appears.

All the best,

When expected value is positive, it pays to play!

BTW… I let my TI-Nspire pick my numbers (after first seeding with my lucky number, of course!)

And… it doesn’t matter how many people are playing, unlike those 50-50’s at church functions.

 

Good luck,

Just keep in mind the probability of sharing the pot, plus all the taxes!!
Still a nice chunk of money
