Question

Transcribed Image Text:Consider the multiple regression model to investigate the relationship between the number of fishes (Y) per
section of the stream and the following independent variables: dissolved oxygen (3 < oxy < 10, in mg/liter),
maximum depth (1 < maxdepth < 8, in feet), and water temperature (5< temp < 20, in °C). The location of the
stream was also considered (lowland and upland).
Y-hat = 23.09 + 0.199*oxy + 0.3361*maxdepth +8.6730*temp + 3.8290* lowland.
Which of the following is(are) TRUE about the estimated regression coefficient for location of the stream?
1. The location of the stream is a categorical variable, so it is represented by a dummy variable with
upland stream as the reference variable.
II. Holding other factors constant, the number of fishes in lowland is 3.8290 higher than upland streams.
O A. I only
O B. II only
O C. Both I and II
O D. Neither I nor II

- A researcher is interested in finding out the factors which determined the yearly spending on family outings last year (Y, measured in dollars). She compiles data on the number of members in a family (X,), the annual income of the family (X,), and the number of times the family went out on an outing in the last year (X). She collects data from 152 families and estimates the following regression: Y = 120.45 + 1.12X, + 2.12X2 + 1.98X3 Suppose B1. B2, B3, denote the population slope coefficients of X, X2, and X3, respectively The researcher wants to check if neither X, nor X, have a significant effect on Y or at least one of them has a significant effect, keeping X3 constant. She calculates the value of the F-statistic for the test with the two restrictions (Ho: B, = 0, B2 = 0 vs. H B, 0 and/or Bz 0) to be 3.00.
