Suppose researchers are interested in exploring the factors which affect depression for Australian adults. The researchers recruited a sample of 99 Australian adults and collected data on several variables which may influence depression. Note that here depression is represented by a score, with higher values representing higher levels of depression. The variables for this study are listed below: Age Gender (0 = female, 1 = male) Stress level Anxiety level Depression Why would conducting a multiple linear regression analysis be appropriate here? Group of answer choices A) Multiple linear regression can be appropriate here because we have one metric dependent variable and several metric or dichotomous independent variables   B) Multiple linear regression can be appropriate here because we have one metric dependent variable and several categorical independent variables   C) Multiple linear regression can be appropriate here because we have one categorical dependent variable and several categorical independent variables   D) Multiple linear regression can be appropriate here because we have one categorical dependent variable and several metric or dichotomous independent variables

Consider a linear regression model that relates school expenditures and family background to student performance in Massachusetts using 224 school districts. The response variable is the mean score on the MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) exam given in May 1998 to 10th-graders. Four explanatory variables are used: (1) STR is the student-to-teacher ratio, (2) TSAL is the average teacher’s salary, (3) INC is the median household income, and (4) SGL is the percentage of single family households. The Excel Regression output for the sample regression equation is given below. (a) What proportion of the variation in MCAS score is explained by the explanatory variables?    (b) At the 5% level, are the explanatory variables jointly significant in explaining MCAS score? Explain briefly.     (c) At the 5% level, which variables are individually significant at predicting MCAS score? Explain briefly.       (d) Suppose a second regression model (Model 2) was generated using only…

2. A study is conducted in patients with HIV. The primary outcome is CD4 cell count which is a measure of the stage of the disease. Lower CD4 counts are associated with more advanced disease. The investigators are interested in the association between vitamin and mineral supplements and CD4 count. A multiple regression analysis is performed relating CD4 count to use of supplements(coded as l ves, 0-no) and to duration of HIV, in years(ie., the number of years between the diagnosis of HIV and the study date). For the analysis, Y-CD4 count. Y 501.41 12.67 Supplements - 30.23 Duration of HIV A. What is the expected CD4 count for a patient taking supplements who has had HIV for 2.5 years? B. What is the expected CD4 count for a patient not taking supplements who was diagnosed with HIV at study enrollment? C. What is the expected CD4 count for a patient not taking supplements who has had HIV for 2.5 years
