Can happiness be predicted? A researcher is investigating whether job satisfaction, income, and health could be good predictors of happiness. She selects a random sample of working adults and obtains the following information for each person.  Each person is asked to rate their happiness and their job satisfaction on a scale of 1 to 10.  Each person is asked their annual income.  Finally, each person's overall physical health is evaluated by a doctor and rated on a scale of 1 to 20. The results are shown in the table.

(a) Construct the correlation matrix. Is there any reason to be concerned with collinearity?
(b) Find the least squares regression equation where x1 is job satisfaction, x2 is income, x3 is health, and y is the response variable "happiness".
(c) Test H0: β1 = β2 = β3 = 0 versus H1: at least one of the βi ≠ 0 at the α = 0.05 level of significance.
(d) Test  the hypotheses  H0: β1 =  0 versus H1: β1 ≠ 0 ,  H0: β2 =  0 versus H1: β2 ≠ 0, and H0: β3 = 0 versus H1: β3 ≠ 0 at the α = 0.05 level of significance.
Should any of the explanatory variables be removed from the model? If so, which one? Why?
(e) Determine the least squares regression equation with the explanatory variable identified in part (d)  removed.
(f) Are both slope coefficients significantly different from zero? If not, remove the appropriate explanatory variable and compute the new least squares regression equation.
(g) How does the P-value for your final regression equation compare with the P-value for the original equation in part (b)? What does this imply?

A cataract is a clouding of the eyes' natural lens. As we age, some clouding of the lens may occur. The first sign of a cataract is usually blurry vision. Although glasses and other visual aids may at first help a person with cataracts, surgery may become inevitable. Cataract surgery is very successful in restoring vision, and it is the most frequently performed surgery in the United States.
