Average number of putts per round

Reference no: EM137973

An old saying in golf is "you drive for show and you putt for dough." The point is that good putting is more important than long driving for shooting low scores and hence winning money. To explore the relation between winning, putting, and driving distance, data on the top 69 money winners on the PGA tour in 1993 are used. The average number of putts per hole for each player and their average driving distance is used to predict their total winnings using the multiple regression model

where the deviations εI are assumed to be independent and Normally distributed with mean 0 and standard deviation σ. This model was fit to the data using the method of least squares. The following results were obtained from statistical software.

A. 0.301.
