In multiple regression as in simple linear regression we use ANOVA to test individual partial regression coefficients for their significance in explaining the data. _____

Which of the following is an assumption of the regression model? Select one: a. X and Y are independent variables. b. The errors of prediction are uniformly distributed. c. The error terms of X are dependent on the error terms of Y. d. There exists a linear association between variables X and Y.

The residual plot for a linear regression model is shown below. Assess the fit of the linear model, and justify your answer.   The line is a good fit because the points on the residual plot have a clear pattern. The line is a good fit because the points on the residual plot do not have any noticeable pattern. The line is not a good fit because the points on the residual plot do not have any noticeable pattern. The line is not a good fit because the points on the residual plot have a clear pattern.

According to an article, one may be able to predict an individual's level of support for ecology based on demographic and ideological characteristics. The multiple regression model proposed by the authors was the following. y = 3.60-.01x₁+.01.₂-.07x3+.12x4+.02xs-.04x6-01-.04.xg-.02.xg+c The variables are defined as follows. y = ecology score (higher values indicate a greater concern for ecology) X₁ = age times 10 x₂ = income (in thousands of dollars) x3 = gender (1 = male, 0 = female) X4 = race (1 = white, 0 = nonwhite) X5 = education (in years) x6 = ideology (4 = conservative, 3 = right of center, 2 = middle of the road, 1 = left of center, and 0 = liberal) X7 = social class (4 = upper, 3 = upper middle, 2 = middle, 1 = lower middle, 0 = lower) xg = postmaterialist (1 if postmaterialist, 0 otherwise) x9 = materialist (1 if materialist, 0 otherwise) (a) Suppose you knew a person with the following characteristics: a 30 year old, white female with a college degree (20 years of…
