Question
A logistic regression model was proposed for classifying common brushtail possums into their two regions.
The outcome variable took value 1 if the possum was from Victoria and 0 otherwise.

(a) Write out the form of the model.
log_odds(Victoria) =|
sex_male
skull_width +
total_length
+
tail_length
Also identify which of the variables are positively associated when controlling for other variables.
O skull_width
O sex_male
total_length
tail_length
(b) Suppose we see a brushtail possum at a zoo in the US, and a sign says the possum had been captured in
the wild in Australia, but it doesn't say which part of Australia. However, the sign does indicate that the
possum is male, its skull is about 64 mm wide, its tail is 40 cm long, and its total length is 85 cm. What is
the reduced model's computed probability that this possum is from Victoria?
