8. Use the following information from a multiple regression analysis.
n = 15 b1 = 5 b2 = 6 Sb1 = 1.4 Sb2 = 0.8
a. Which variable has the largest slope, in units of a t statistic?
The variable _____ has the largest slope, with tSTAT = _____
b. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the population slope, β1.
c. Begin by determining whether X1 makes a significant contribution to the regression model. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses.
Compute the test statistic.
Determine the p-value.
Reach a conclusion
Now test whether X2 makes a significant contribution to the regression model. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses.

A regression analysis is performed using data for 36
single-family homes to predict appraised value (in thousands of
dollars) based on land area of the property (in acres), X1i, and
age (in years), X2i, in month i. Use the results below to

In a multiple regression analysis, two independent variables are considered, and the sample size is 26. The regression coefficients and the standard errors are as follows. b1 = 1.468 Sb1 = 0.89 b2 = −1.084 Sb2 = 0.88 Conduct a test of hypothesis to determine whether either independent variable has a coefficient equal to zero. Would you consider deleting either variable from the regression equation? Use the 0.05 significance level. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round...

You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. In a regression analysis involving 27 observations, the following estimated regression equation was developed. ŷ = 25.2 + 5.5x1 For this estimated regression equation SST = 1,550 and SSE = 550. (a) At α = 0.05, test whether x1 is significant. State the null and alternative hypotheses. H0: β1 = 0 Ha: β1 ≠ 0H0: β0 = 0 Ha: β0 ≠ 0 H0: β1 ≠ 0 Ha: β1...

7. You are testing the null hypothesis that there is no linear relationship between two variables, X and Y. From your sample of n=18, you determine that b1=4.4 and Sb1=1.7. a. What is the value of tSTAT? b. At the α=0.05 level of significance, what are the critical values? c. Based on your answers to (a) and (b), what statistical decision should you make? d. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population slope, β1. 8. You are testing...
2. A baseball analyst wants to determine which variables are important in predicting a team's wins in a given season. He has collected data related to wins, earned run average (ERA), runs scored, and errors. Analyze the data below: y = #wins X1 = ERA X2 = runs scored X3 = #errors bo = 84 b1 = -18 b2 = 1 b3 = -2 Sb1 = 2.1 Sb2 = .04 Sb3 = 1.1 SSR = 1500 SSE = 646 n...
Consider the following estimated multiple regression equation, with n = 25: Y = 5 + 10X1 + 20X2. R2 = 0.90; Sb1 = 3.2; Sb2 = 5.5 Calculate the test statistic to test whether X1 contributes information to the prediction of Y. a. 0.32 b. 3.636 c. 3.125 d. 2.8125 e. None of the above
The production of wine is a multi-billion-dollar worldwide
industry. In an attempt to develop a model of wine quality as
judged by wine experts, data was collected from red wine variants
from a particular type of foreign wine. A multiple linear
regression model was developed from a sample of 45 wines. The model
was used to predict wine quality, measured on a scale from 0
(very bad) to 10 (excellent) based on the alcohol content (%) and
the amount of...
