Question 1

True or False.

It is safe to conduct t-tests on the individual β parameters in a first-order linear model in order to determine which independent variables are useful for predicting y and which are not.
◦ True
◦ False

Question 2

During its manufacture, a product is subjected to four different tests in sequential order. An efficiency expert claims that the fourth (and last) test is unnecessary since its results can be predicted based on the first three tests. To test this claim, multiple regression will be used to model Test4 score , as a function of Test1 score Test 2 score and Test3 score [Note: All test scores range from 200 to 800, with higher scores indicative of a higher quality product.] Consider the model:

E(y) = β1 + β1x1 + β2x2 + β3x3


The first-order model was fit to the data for each of 12 units sampled from the production line. The results are summarized in the printout.
_____________________________________________________________________

ROOT MSE 52.72 R-SQUARE 0.872

DEP MEAN 645.8 ADJ R-SQ 0.824



Suppose the 95% confidence interval for β3 is (.15, .47). Which of the following statements is incorrect?
◦ We are 95% confident that the estimated slope for the Test4-Test3 line falls between .15 and .47 holding Test1 and Test2 fixed.
◦ At α = .05, there is insufficient evidence to reject H0: β3 = 0 in favor of Ha: β3 ≠ 0.
◦ We are 95% confident that the increase in Test4 score for every 1-point increase in Test3 score falls between .15 and .47, holding Test1 and Test2 fixed.
◦ We are 95% confident that the Test3 is a useful linear predictor of Test4 score, holding Test1 and Test2 fixed.

Did you know?

Prostaglandins were first isolated from human semen in Sweden in the 1930s. They were so named because the researcher thought that they came from the prostate gland. In fact, prostaglandins exist and are synthesized in almost every cell of the body.

Did you know?

Nearly all drugs pass into human breast milk. How often a drug is taken influences the amount of drug that will pass into the milk. Medications taken 30 to 60 minutes before breastfeeding are likely to be at peak blood levels when the baby is nursing.

Did you know?

Blastomycosis is often misdiagnosed, resulting in tragic outcomes. It is caused by a fungus living in moist soil, in wooded areas of the United States and Canada. If inhaled, the fungus can cause mild breathing problems that may worsen and cause serious illness and even death.

Did you know?

Critical care patients are twice as likely to receive the wrong medication. Of these errors, 20% are life-threatening, and 42% require additional life-sustaining treatments.

Did you know?

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
