In interpreting the multiple regression equation, it can be a mistake to conclude that one independent variable is more important than another just because its partial regression coefficient happens to be large.

A local University conducted a survey of over ​2,000 MBA alumni to explore the issue of​ work-life balance. Each participant received a score ranging from 0 to​ 100, with lower scores indicating a higher imbalance between work and life. A sample of the data is available below. Let x=average number of hours worked per week and y= work-life balance scale score for each MBA alumnus. Investigate the link between these two variables by conducting a complete simple linear regression analysis of the data. Summarize your findings.   Hours WLB Score 50 74.09 45 72.45 50 52.93 55 44.33 50 69.15 60 54.79 55 56.26 60 20.44 55 6-.64 50 69.15 70 29.16 45 72.45 40 33.25 40 32.18 45 45.76   a.

In a laboratory experiment, data were gathered on the life span (y in months) of 33 rats, units of daily protein intake (x1), and whether or not agent x2 (a proposed life-extending agent) was added to the rats' diet (x2 = 0 if agent x2 was not added, and x2 = 1 if agent was added). From the results of the experiment, the following regression model was developed:ŷ = 36 + .8x1 − 1.7x2Also provided are SSR = 60 and SST = 180.The test statistic for testing the significance of the model is _____.   a. 5.00     b. .50     c. .25     d. .33

Might we be able to predict life expectancies from birthrates? Below are bivariate data giving birthrate and life expectancy information for each of twelve countries. For each of the countries, both x, the number of births per one thousand people in the population, and y, the female life expectancy (in years), are given. Also shown are the scatter plot for the data and the least-squares regression line. The equation for this line is y = 82.17 -0.47x. Birthrate, x (number of births per 1000 people) 14.3 27.4 51.1 46.8 24.9 29.9 18.2 41.6 49.4 14.1 33.9 49.3 Send data to calculator Female life expectancy, y (in years) 75.6 70.5 58.2 59.0 73.3 62.7 73.6 65.2 62.4 74.3 67.0 53.9 Send data to Excel Female life expectancy (In years) Based on the sample data and the regression line, answer the following. 85+ 80+ 75+ 70+ 65 60 55+ 50 (a) From the regression equation, what is the predicted female life expectancy (in years) when the birthrate is 29.9 births per 1000 people?
