Chapter 14, Problem 70CR
A study of pregnant grey seals resulted in n = 25 observations on the variables y = Fetus progesterone level (mg), x1 = Felus sex (0 = male, 1 = female), x2 = Fetus length (cm), and x3 = Fetus weight (g). Minitab output for the model using all three independent variables is given (“Gonadotropin and Progesterone Concentration in Placenta of Grey Seals,” Journal of Reproduction and Fertility [1984]: 521–528).
The regression equation is Y = −1.98 − 1.87X1 + .234X2 + .0001X3
s = 4.189 R-sq = 55.2% R-sq(adj) = 48.8%
Analysis of Variance
- a. Use information from the Minitab output to test the hypothesis H0: β1 = β2 = β3 = 0.
- b. Using an elimination criterion of −2 ≤ t ratio ≤ 2, should any variable be eliminated? If so, which one?
- c. Minitab output for the regression using only x1 = Sex and x2 = Length is given. Would you recommend keeping both and x2 in the model? Explain.
The regression equation is Y = −2.09 − 1.87X1 + .240X2
s = 4.093 R-sq = 55.2% R-sq(adj) = 51.2%
- d. After elimination of both x3 and x1, the estimated regression equation is ŷ = −2.61 + 0.231x2. The corresponding values of R2 and se are 0.527 and 4.116, respectively. Interpret these values.
- e. Referring to Part (d), how would you interpret the value of b2 = 0.231? Does it make sense to interpret the value of a as the estimate of average progesterone level when length is zero? Explain.

- The director of an obesity clinic in a large northwestern city believes that drinking soft drinks contribute to obesity in children. To determine whether a relationship exists between these two variables, she conducts the following pilot study. Eight- 12-year-old male volunteers are randomly selected from children attending a local junior high school. Parents of the children are asked to monitor the number of soft drinks consumed by their child over a one week period. The children are weighed at the end of the week and their weights converted into body mass index (BMI) values. The BMI is a common index used to measure obesity and takes into account both height and weight. An individual is considered obese if they have a BMI value 30. The following data or collected: child. # of soft drinks consumed BMI 1 3 20 2 1 18 3…arrow_forwardA researcher was investigating variables that might be associated with the academic performance of high school students. The data included the average Math SAS score of all high school seniors in the city that took the exam (labeled as the variable SAT-M), the average number of dollars per pupil spent on education by the city (labeled as the variable $Per Pupil), and the percentage of high school seniors in the city that took the exam (labeled as the variable %Taking). The researcher ran the following multiple linear regression model as SAT-M=Beta0 + Beta1($Per Pupil) + Beta2(%Taking). This model was fit to the data using the method of least-squares, results shown inside of table within photo.

To test whether CEO compensation and a company's stock performance are related, a financial analyst collected data on 12 randomly selected, publicly traded companies. For each company, the analyst looked at two variables: the percent change in stock price over the past five years (which she denoted x ) and the percent change in CEO compensation over the past five years (which she denoted y ). For these 12 companies, the least-squares regression equation relating the two variables was =y+−0.1650.046x , and the standard error of the slope of this least-squares regression line was approximately 0.028 . Using her information, test for a significant linear relationship between these two variables by doing a hypothesis test regarding the population slope β1 . (Assume that the variable y follows a normal distribution for each value of x and that the other regression assumptions are satisfied.) Use the…arrow_forward

The table below shows results from a study in which some patients were treated with amalgam restorations and others were treated with composite restorations that do not contain mercury (based on data from “Neuropsychological and Renal Effects of Dental Amalgam in Children,” by Bellinger, et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 295, No. 15).
