Question
Refer to the Baseball 2018 data given below, which report information on the 30 Major League Baseball teams for the 2018 season.  Let the number of games won be the dependent variable and the following variables be independent variables:  team batting average, team earned run average (ERA), number of home runs and whether the team plays in the American or National league (American League is 1 and National League is 0).
a.  Develop a correlation matrix.  
(i)  Which independent variables have strong or weak correlations with the dependent variable.  
(ii)  Do you see any problems with multicollinearity?  Explain your answer.
b.  Use Excel to determine the multiple regression equation.  
(i)  Write out the regression equation and determine its practical application (i.e., interpret the equation).  
(ii)  Report and interpret the R-square.
c. Conduct a global test on the set of independent variables.  Interpret.
d.  Conduct a test of hypothesis on each of the independent variables.  Would you consider deleting any of the variables?  
(i)  If so, which ones?
(ii)  If so, what is your new equation?
e.  Develop a histogram of the residuals from the final regression equation developed in part (d-ii).  Is it reasonable to conclude that the normality assumption has been met?  Why or Why not?
f.  Plot the residuals against the fitted values from the final regression equation developed in part (d-ii).  Plot the residuals on the vertical axis and the fitted values on the horizontal axis.  What regression assumption is supported?  Why is it supported?
