Example 11 discussed how the winning height in the Olympic high jump changed over time. Using the High Jump data file on the book€™s website, we get (see also Figure 3.16) Women_Meters = -10.94 + 0.0065 (Year_Women) for predicting the women€™s winning height (in meters) using the year number.
a. Predict the winning Olympic high jump distance for women in (i) 2016 and (ii) 3000.
b. Do you feel comfortable making either prediction in part a? Explain.
