Chapter 14, Problem 70CR
A study of pregnant grey seals resulted in n = 25 observations on the variables y = Fetus progesterone level (mg), x1 = Felus sex (0 = male, 1 = female), x2 = Fetus length (cm), and x3 = Fetus weight (g). Minitab output for the model using all three independent variables is given (“Gonadotropin and Progesterone Concentration in Placenta of Grey Seals,” Journal of Reproduction and Fertility [1984]: 521–528).
The regression equation is Y = −1.98 − 1.87X1 + .234X2 + .0001X3
s = 4.189 R-sq = 55.2% R-sq(adj) = 48.8%
Analysis of Variance
- a. Use information from the Minitab output to test the hypothesis H0: β1 = β2 = β3 = 0.
- b. Using an elimination criterion of −2 ≤ t ratio ≤ 2, should any variable be eliminated? If so, which one?
- c. Minitab output for the regression using only x1 = Sex and x2 = Length is given. Would you recommend keeping both and x2 in the model? Explain.
The regression equation is Y = −2.09 − 1.87X1 + .240X2
s = 4.093 R-sq = 55.2% R-sq(adj) = 51.2%
- d. After elimination of both x3 and x1, the estimated regression equation is ŷ = −2.61 + 0.231x2. The corresponding values of R2 and se are 0.527 and 4.116, respectively. Interpret these values.
- e. Referring to Part (d), how would you interpret the value of b2 = 0.231? Does it make sense to interpret the value of a as the estimate of average progesterone level when length is zero? Explain.

The administration of a midwestern university commissioned a salary equity study to help establish benchmarks for faculty salaries. The administration utilized the following regression model for annual salary, y : ?(?) β0+β1x ,where ?=0 if lecturer, 1 if assistant professor, 2 if associate professor, and 3 if full professor. The administration wanted to use the model to compare the mean salaries of professors in the different ranks.
a) Explain the flaw in the model.
b)Propose an alternative model that will achieve the administration’s objective.
c) If the global F-test for the model you proposed in 2 is conducted, what would be the value of the numerator degrees of freedom?
A medical student at a community college in city Q wants to study the factors affecting the systolic blood pressure of a person (Y) Generally, the systolic blood pressure
depends on the BMI of a person (B) and the age of the person A. She wants to test whether or not the BMI has a significant effect on the systolic blood pressure, keeping the
age of the person constant. For her study, she collects a random sample of 125 patients from the city and estimates the following regression function:
Y= 15.50 + 0..90B+1.15A.
(0.55)
(0 40)
The test statistic of the study the student wants to conduct (Ho: B, = 0 vs. H, B, #0), keeping other variables constant is.
(Round your answer to two decimal places.)
At the 5% significance level, the student will

Keeping BMIl constant, she now wants to test whether the age of a person (A) has no significant effect or a positive effect on the person's systolic blood pressure.
So, the test statistic associated with the one-sided test the…

- The table below shows the parameters for four multiple linear regression bridge deterioration models. The full model has age as continuous independent variable, traffic (Average Daily Traffic (ADT)) and bridge design as categorical variables. The bridge design is expressed as codes “H’ or “HS” for a single-unit truck and a tractor pulling a semitrailer respectively. The numeric suffix represents the gross weight in tons for H truck or weight on the first two axle sets of the HS truck. For example, H_10 denotes a truck with a gross work of 10 tons. The table also contains the following model validation indicators: adjusted r-squared, Akaike’s Information Criteria (AIC), Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Bayesian Information Criteria (BIC). Write the multiple regression equation for each of the four models and comment on the accuracy of prediction of bridge deterioration of each model.arrow_forwardThe table below shows the parameters for four multiple linear regression bridge deterioration models.

These data are presented in Table 2 (See data 3). Correlations for the three variables are shown in Figure 1. The very large and significant correlation between the variables weight and BMI suggests that including both of these variables in the model is inappropriate because of the high level of redundancy in the information provided by these variables. This makes logical sense since BMI is a function of weight. How to decide which of the variables to retain for constructing the regression model?

Data was collected on their sex (male/female), race (White/non-White), and grade level (9,10,11,12). Researchers realized that the impact of race on consuming alcohol before driving might vary by grade level and decided to fit the following model. Compute the OR of drinking before driving for students who self-reported as Black versus non-Black in the 9th grade, adjusting for gender. Hello, thank you for helping me out with this. I'm just confused about the concept of adjusting for gender in this case.
