An over-the-counter drug manufacturer wants to examine the effectiveness of a new drug in curing an illness most commonly found in older patients. Thirteen patients are given the new drug and 13 patients are given the old drug. To avoid bias in the experiment, they are not told which drug is given to them. To check how the effectiveness depends on the age of patients, the following data have been collected.

To examine the differences between salaries of male and female middle managers of a large bank, 90 individuals were randomly selected, and two models were created with the following variables considered:


Salary = the monthly salary (excluding fringe benefits and bonuses),
Educ = the number of years of education,
Exper = the number of months of experience,
Train = the number of weeks of training,
Gender = the gender of an individual; 1 for males, and 0 for females.


Excel partial outputs corresponding to these models are available and shown below.

Model A: Salary = β0 + β1Educ + β2Exper + β3Train + β4Gender + ε

df SS MS F
Regression 4 28,045,960.12 7,011,490.03 43.23
Residual 85 13,787,729.88 162,208.59
Total 89 41,833,690.00
Coefficients Standard Error t-stat p-value

Train 1.17 3.72 0.31 0.7543
Gender 615.15 97.33 0.32 1.16E-08

Model B: Salary = β0 + β1Educ + β2Exper + β3Gender + ε

df SS MS F
Regression 3 28,029,969.88 9,343,323.29 58.21
Residual 86 13,803,720.12 162,508.37
Total 89 41,833,690.00
Coefficients Standard Error t-stat p-value
Intercept 4,713.26 327.1967 14.40 1.21E-24
Educ 139.54 19.7253 7.07 3.78E-10
Exper 3.35 0.4649 7.20 2.10E-10
Gender 609.25 94.9920 6.41 7.39E-09

Assuming the same years of education and months of experience, what is the null hypothesis for testing whether the mean salary of males is greater than the mean salary of females using Model B?

Multiple Choice

  • H0: β3> 0

  • H0: β3 ≤ 0

  • H0: β3 ≥ 0

  • H0: β3 = 0

Old Drug: Patient Age 21 28 33 33 38 43 48 53 53 58 63 67 52
Effectiveness 56 55 61 54 58 65 64 61 69 71 66 70 60

The variables are
Effectiveness = the response variable measured on a scale from 0 to 100,
Age = the age of a patient (in years),
Drug = a dummy variable that is 1 for the new drug and 0 for the old drug.
The regression model, Effectiveness = β0 + β1Age + β2Drug + β3Age × Drug, is estimated and the following results are obtained.

Coefficients Standard Error t-stat p-value
Intercept 47.04 3.1479 14.9423 5.31E-13
Age 0.34 0.0665 5.0610 4.55E-05
Drug −40.86 4.0798 −10.016 1.17E-09
Age × Drug 0.70 0.0879 7.9385 6.71E-08

Which of the following is the estimated regression model for the new drug?

Multiple Choice

  • EffectivenessˆEffectiveness^ = 47.04 + 0.34Age – 40.86Drug + 0.70Age × Drug

  • EffectivenessˆEffectiveness^ = 47.04 + 0.34Age

  • EffectivenessˆEffectiveness^  = 47.04 + 0.34Age + 0.70Age × Drug

  • EffectivenessˆEffectiveness^  = 6.18 + 1.04Age
