Chapter B.3, Problem 60E
Answer true or false to each of the following statements and explain your answers.
- a. A qualitative predictor variable, whose possible values are represented by three indicator variables, has three possible values.
- b. In the regression equation y = β0 + β1 x1 + β2 x2 relating y to a quantitative predictor variable x1 and an indicator variable x2, the regression equations when x2 = 0 and x2 = 1 have different slopes, but the same y-intercepts.
- c. The method of least squares can be used to obtain estimates of the regression coefficients when there are indicator variables in the regression equation.
- d. For indicator variables x1 and x2, it is not possible to simultaneously have x1 = 1 and x2= 1.

Answer true or false to each of the following statements and explain your answers.
a. The number of indicator variables required to represent the possible values of a qualitative predictor variable is one more than the number of possible values.
b. If we take the regression equation relating the response variable y to a quantitative predictor variable x1 and indicator variables x2 and x3 to be y = β0 + β1x1 + β2x2 + β3x3, then we are assuming there is no interaction between x1 and the qualitative variable represented by x2 and x3.
c. A cross-product term in a regression equation is often referred to as an interaction term.
Answer true or false to the following statements and explain your answers.
a. In a multiple linear regression analysis, the test of H0: β1 = 0 can be affected by what other predictor variables are in the multiple linear regression equation.
b. If the F-test for the utility of the multiple linear regression equation rejects the null hypothesis of H0: β1 = β2 = ... = βk = 0, then each individual t-test of H0: βi = 0, i = 1,... , k, will result in rejection of the null hypothesis.
c. The number of degrees of freedom for the tα/2-value used in constructing a confidence interval for a population regression coefficient is the same as the number of degrees of freedom for the mean square error (MSE).
