Suppose you are examining a multi-variable linear regression model that was designed to predict the weight of a person, measured in kg, using 3 predictor variables. One of the variables used in this analysis is "height", with the coefficient of this variable being equal to 3.96, with a standard error of the coefficient equal to 1.168. There are 300 datapoints in the dataset. Using this information, what would be the test statistic (t-ratio) for the test to see if the variable "height" is significant?
Only round final answer. Round to two decimal places.
Suppose you are estimating a wage regression, where salary is the dependent
variable and age, years of education and a dummy variable for male are your
independent variables. You are interested in measuring how salary differs between
those who have at least a college education with those who have less than a college
education. If a person is considered as having a college education when she has
more than 12 years of education, how can you measure the difference in salary
between college and non-college educated individuals?
Select one:
a. Multiply coefficient for years of education in original regression by 12
O b. Re-estimate model replacing years of education with a dummy variable for
college
c. Re-estimate model replacing years of education with a dummy variable for
college and one for no college
O d. Re-estimate model interacting years of education with a dummy variable for
college
e. Calculate the difference in predicted salary between an individual with 14
years of education and…
Suppose the athletic director at a university would like to develop a regression model to predict the point differential for games played by the men's basketball team. A point differential is the difference between the final points scored by two competing teams. A positive differential is a win, and a negative differential is a loss. For a random sample of games, the point differential was calculated, along with the number of assists, rebounds, turnovers, and personal fouls. Use the data in the accompanying table attached below to complete parts a through e below. Assume a = 0.05.
a) Using technology, construct a regression model using all three independent variables.
y = __ + (_)x1 + (_)x2 + (_)x3 + (_)x4
b) Test the significance of each independent variable using a= 0.10.
c) interpret the p-value for each independent variable.
d) Construxt a 90% confidence interval for the regression coefficients for each independent variable and interpret the meaning.
e) Using the results from…

This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177.

One of the many variables thought to be an important predictor of appraised value is the number of rooms in the house. Using data collected for a sample ofn 91 houses in East Meadow, the appraiser fit the data with the following simple, linear regression model: y = 91.80 + 19.72, where x = number of rooms and y = appraised value of the house (in thousands of dollars). Additionally, the appraiser determined the coefficient of correlation to be r = .93 and the coefficient of determination to be r %3D = .86. Give a practical interpretation of the coefficient of correlation.

In a study, researchers monitored variables thought to be related to the abundance of white shrimp. One variable the researchers thought might be related to abundance is the amount of oxygen in the water. The relationship between mean catch per tow of white shrimp and oxygen concentration was described by fitting a regression line using data from ten randomly selected offshore sites. (The "catch" per tow is the number of shrimp caught in a single outing.) Computer output is shown below.
