The professional golfer association maintains data on performance and earnings for members of the PGA tour. For the 2012 season Bubba Watson led all players in total driving distance, with an average of 309.2 yards/ drive Some of the factors start to influence driving distance are clubhead speed, ball speed and launch angle. For the 2012 season Bubba Watson had an original average clubhead speed of 124.69 mph, and an average ball speed is 184.98 mph, and an average average launch angle of 8.79. The data file named PGA driving test contain data on total driving distance and the factors related to driving distance for 119 members of the PGA tour. Descriptions for the variables in the data set follow. Question D also asks to develop an estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the average number of yards per drive given the ball speed and launch a goal (to two decimals). Y equals predictive total distance equals blank plus blank ball speed plus blank launch angle.

The Professional Golfers Association (PGA) maintains data on performance and earnings for members of the PGA Tour. For the total driving distance, with an average of 309.2 yards per drive. Some of the factors thought to influence driving distance are club head speed, ball speed, and launch angle. For the 2012 season Bubba Watson had an average club head speed of 124.69 miles per hour, an average ball speed of 184.98 miles per hour, and an average launch angle of 8.79 degrees. The Datafile named PGADrivingDist contains data on total driving distance and the factors related to driving distance for 190 members of the PGA Tour (PGA Tour website, November 1, 2012). Descriptions for the variables in the data set follow. Club Head Speed: Speed at which the club impacts the ball (mph). Ball Speed: Peak speed of the golf ball at launch (mph). Launch Angle: Vertical launch angle of the ball immediately after leaving the club (degrees). Total Distance: The average number of yards per drive. Click on the datafile logo to reference the data. DATA file a. Develop an estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the average number of yards per drive given the club head speed (to 4 decimals). y = x Club Head Speed b. Develop an estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the average number of yards per drive given the ball speed (to 4 decimals). y = x Ball Speed c. A recommendation has been made to develop an estimated regression equation that uses both club head speed and ball speed to predict the average number of yards per drive. head speed and ball speed
