Question

create a function that has an argument is the triple jump distance. It returns the estimate of vertical jump height. The world record for the triple jump distance is 18.29 meters by Johnathan Edwards. What's our prediction for what Edwards' vertical jump would be

Answer 1

Answer:

function predicting vertical  

def predict_vertical(triple):

       # using least squares model parameters

       ls_vertical = ls_slope*triple + ls_intercept

       return ls_vertical

# Johnathan Edwards prediction  

triple = 18.29 # m

vertical = predict_vertical(triple)

print("Edward's vertical jump prediction would be {:.2f} meters.".format(vertical))

plt.legend(['linear regression','least squares','data'])

plt.grid()

plt.show()
