Chapter 13, Problem 46CE
A researcher used stepwise regression to create regression models to predict BirthRate (births per 1,000) using five predictors: LifeExp (life expectancy in years), InfMort (infant mortality rate), Density (population density per square kilometer), GDPCap (gross domestic product per capita), and Literate (literacy percent). (a) Which model (Nvar 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) best balances fit and parsimony? Explain. (b) Does the addition of LifeExp and Density improve the model with respect to the R2adj? (c) Which two variables appear to be the most significant?

You are planning an experiment to determine the effect of the brand of gasoline and the weight of a car on gas mileage measured in miles per gallon. You will use a single test car, adding weights so that its total weight is 3000, 3500, or 4000 pounds. The car will drive on a test track at each weight using each of Amoco, Marathon, and Speedway gasoline. Which is the best way to organize the study?
Start with 3000 pounds and Amoco and run the car on the test track. Then do 3500 and 4000 pounds. Change to Marathon and go through the three weights in order. Then change to Speedway and do the three weights in order once more.
Start with 3000 pounds and Amoco and run the car on the test track. Then change to Marathon and then to Speedway without changing the weight. Then add weights to get 3500 pounds and go through the three gasolines in the same order.Then change to 4000 pounds and do the three gasolines in order again.
Choose a gasoline at random, and run the car with this gasoline at…
