Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 46CE
A researcher used stepwise regression to create regression models to predict BirthRate (births per 1,000) using five predictors: LifeExp (life expectancy in years), InfMort (infant mortality rate), Density (population density per square kilometer), GDPCap (gross domestic product per capita), and Literate (literacy percent). (a) Which model (Nvar 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) best balances fit and parsimony? Explain. (b) Does the addition of LifeExp and Density improve the model with respect to the R2adj? (c) Which two variables appear to be the most significant?

A researcher interested in explaining the level of foreign reserves for the country of Barbadosestimated the following multiple regression model using yearly data spanning the period 2001 to 2016: ??=?+????+????+????Where FR = yearly foreign reserves ($000’s), OIL = annual oil prices, EXP = yearly total exports ($000’s) and FDI = annual foreign direct investment ($000’s). The sample of data was processed using MINITAB and the following is an extract of the output obtained:Predictor Coef StDev t-ratio p-value Constant 5491.38 2508.81 2.1888 0.0491OIL 85.39 18.46 4.626 0.0006EXP -377.08 112.19 * 0.0057FDI -396.99 160.66 -2.471 ** S = 2.45 R-sq = 96.3% R-sq(adj) = 95.3%Analysis of VarianceSource DF SS MS F pRegression 3 1991.31 663.77 ? ??Error 12 77.4 6.45Total 15
Perform the F Test making sure to state the null and alternative hypothesis. f) Given an interpretation of the term “R-sq” and comment on its value.
A 10-year study conducted by the American Heart Association provided data on how age, blood pressure, and smoking relate to the risk of strokes (Dataset "Stroke"). Risk is interpreted as the probability (times 100) that a person will have a stroke over the next 10-year period. For the smoker variable, 1 indicates a smoker and 0 indicates a nonsmoker.
a. Develop an estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the risk of stroke given the age and blood-pressure level.
b. Consider adding two independent variables to the model developed in part (a), one for the interaction between age and blood-pressure level and the other for whether the person is a smoker. Develop an estimated regression equation using these four independent variables.
c. At a 0.05 level of significance, test to see whether the addition of the interaction term and the smoker variable contributes significantly to the estimated regression equation developed in part (a).
d. Refer to the model developed in part…
when a regression is used as a method of predicting dependent variables from one or more independent variables. How are the independent variables different from each other yet related to the dependent variable?

If so, finda linear equation that models the data.arrow_forwardOlympic Pole Vault The graph in Figure 7 indicates that in recent years the winning Olympic men’s pole vault height has fallen below the value predicted by the regression line in Example 2. This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177. Has this new regression line provided a better prediction than the line in Example 2?arrow_forward
