Is CEO compensation related to a company's performance?
To test whether CEO compensation and a company's stock performance are related, a financial analyst collected data on
12
randomly selected, publicly traded companies. For each company, the analyst looked at two variables: the percent change in stock price over the past five years (which she denoted
x
) and the percent change in CEO compensation over the past five years (which she denoted
y
). For these
12
companies, the least-squares regression equation relating the two variables was
=y+−0.1650.046x
, and the standard error of the slope of this least-squares regression line was approximately
0.028
.
Using her information, test for a significant linear relationship between these two variables by doing a hypothesis test regarding the population slope
β1
. (Assume that the variable
y
follows a normal distribution for each value of
x
and that the other regression assumptions are satisfied.) Use the…
The relationship between total cholesterol (milligrams per deciliter) and BMI (Ratio of weight in kilograms to height in metres squared) of 20 participants
is shown in the scatterplot below along with the least squares regression line.
Which of the following statements is correct?
a) The relationship between total cholesterol and BMI is linear as can be seen by the random scatter of the data above and below the least squares regression line.
Both variables are metric and therefore it is appropriate to use Pearson's correlation to measure the linear association between the two variables.
b) The relationship between total cholesterol and BMI is non-linear and since both variables are metric it is appropriate to use Pearson's correlation to measure the linear association between the two variables.
c) The relationship between total cholesterol and BMI is non-linear as can be seen by the patterning of points around the least squares regression line and therefore it is not…
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-.01.x₁ +.01.x2-.07x3+.12x4+.02xs-.04x6-.01x7.04x8-.02xg+e
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)
x8 = postmaterialist (1 if postmaterialist, 0 otherwise)
x9 = materialist (1 if materialist, O otherwise)

- 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…arrow_forwardAccording to an article, one may be able to predict an individual's level of support for ecology based on demographic and ideological characteristics.
