Which of the following is not a good reason to use more than one independent variables (x variables) in the regression equation: OA. We may want to control for other factors that affect our outcome variable B. We may want to explain as much of the variation in our outcome variable as possible C. If we have one independent var iable of primary interest, we want to see the smallest standard errors around it D. If we have one independent variable of primary interest, we want isolate the effect it has on outcome variable from other factors

A) A linear regression has a =6 and b=5 what is y predicted as when x=9? B) A linear regression has b=3 and a=4.What is the predicted Y for x=7?

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=82.25 -0.48x. ^ Birthrate, x (number of births per 1000 people) 35.5 44.9 29.7 19.9 13.7 27.0 51.9 15.0 50.9 49.7 39.6 24.4 Send data to calculator Send data to Excel Female life expectancy, y (in years) 67.9 57.9 61.7 71.4 72.5 73.5 55.4 76.5 58.2 60.6 64.4 74.4 Based on the sample data and the regression line, complete the following. Female life expectancy (in years) 85 80+ 75+ 70- 65+ 60- 55+ 50 x X x ++ 10 15 20 25 (b) According to the regression equation, for an increase of one (birth per 1000 people) in birthrate, there is a corresponding decrease…

You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. A regression analysis involving 45 observations relating a dependent variable and two independent variables resulted in the following information. ŷ = 0.406 + 1.3385x₁ + 2x₂ The SSE for the above model is 43. When two other independent variables were added to the model, the following information was provided. ŷ = 1.9 - 3x₁ + 12x2 + 4x3 + 8x4 This model's SSE is 36. At a 0.05 level of significance, test to determine if the two added independent variables contribute significantly to the model. State the relevant null and alternative hypotheses. O Ho: One or more of the parameters is not equal to zero. H₂: B₁ = P₂ = P3 =B4 = 0 B1 O Ho: One or more of the parameters is not equal to zero. H₂: B3 =B₁ = 0 O Ho: B3 = P4 = 0 H₂: None of the parameters are equal to zero. O Ho: B3 B4= = = H₂: One or more of the parameters is not equal to zero. O Ho: P₁ = P₂ = P3= P4= H: One or more of the parameters is not equal to zero. Find…
