Question 1
A study of the top MBA programs attempted to predict y = the average starting salary (in $1000's) of graduates of the program based on x = the amount of tuition (in $1000's) charged by the program. After first considering a simple linear model, it was decided that a quadratic model should be proposed. Which of the following models proposes a 2nd-order quadratic relationship between x and y?
◦ E(y) = β

12Question 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 = 100.42. Interpret this value.
◦ There is sufficient evidence, at α = 0.05, to indicate that there is a linear relationship between average starting salary of graduates of MBA programs and the tuition of the MBA program.
◦ 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 sufficient evidence, at α = 0.05, to indicate that there is a curvilinear relationship between average starting salary of graduates of MBA programs and the tuition of the MBA program.
◦ There is sufficient 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.
