(b) Let us consider just Hip, Forearm and Wrist as our predictors. How many
possible linear models that predict BodyFat can one build?
(c) Consider the two models
Salary = 6366 +9.3 Age - 329.56 Male,
R² = 0.135,
² = 1099
(1)
and
log(Salary) = 5.342 +0.012 Age -0.321 Male, R² = 0.178, ²= 1.231. (2)
(i) Interpret the coefficient for Male in each model.
(ii) Would it be correct to say that the second model is preferred over the first?
Explain your reasoning.
