Question 1
A college admissions officer proposes to use regression to model a student's college GPA at graduation in terms of the following two variables:
x1 = high school GPA
x2 = SAT score
The admissions officer believes the relationship between college GPA and high school GPA is linear and the relationship between SAT score and college GPA is linear. She also believes that the relationship between college GPA and high school GPA depends on the student's SAT score. Write the regression model she should fit.
Question 2
A study of the top MBA programs attempted to predict the average starting salary (in $1000's) of graduates of the program based on the amount of tuition (in $1000's) charged by the program and the average GMAT score of the program's students. The results of a regression analysis based on a sample of 75 MBA programs is shown below:

The global-f test statistic is shown on the printout to be the value F = 84.68. Interpret this value.
◦ There is insufficient evidence, at α = 0.05, to indicate that at least one of the variables proposed in the interaction model is useful at predicting the average starting salary of graduates of MBA programs.
◦ There is insufficient evidence, at α = 0.05, to indicate that the interaction between average tuition and average GMAT score is a useful predictor of the average starting salary of graduates of MBA programs.
