A professor is interested in understanding the factors on which the grades a student obtains in her final exam depends. She chooses the student's intelligence quotient (X,), the grades obtained in the mid-term exam (X2), the number of days the student was present in the class in the whole semester (X3) as regressors. She randomly selects 180 students and estimates the following regression function: Ý = 49 + 1.85X, + 0.98X,+0.98Xy, + u. where Y, X. X2, and X, denote the predicted value of grades obtained by the " student, her intellegence quotient, the grades obtained by her in the mid-term exam, and the number of days she was preseont in the class in the whole semester, respectively. She calculates the value of the regression R to be 0.45. The value of the adjusted R R)wil be (Round your answer to two decimal places). Which of the following statements is not true about the R?

A finance manager employed by an automobile dealership believes that the number of cars sold in his local market can be predicted by the interest rate charged for a loan. Interest Rate (%) Number of Cars Sold (100s) 3 5 10 7 8 2 The finance manager performed a regression analysis of the number of cars sold and interest rates using the sample of data above. Shown below is a portion of the regression output. Regression Statistics Multiple R0.998868 R2 0.997738 Coefficient |14.88462 Interest Rate -1.61538 Intercept 1. Are there factors other than interest rate charged for a loan that the finance manager should consider in predicting future car sales? 2. Is interest rate charged for a loan the most important factor to be considered in predicting future car sales? Explain your reasoning.The dealership's vice- president of marketing has requested a sales forecast at the prevailing interest rate of 7%. 3. As finance manager, what reasons would you convey to the vice-president in recommending…
A researcher wants to test the relationship between the number of years of formal education received (X) and the average weekly earnings (Y) (measured in hundred dollars). A report released by a government agency suggests that the average weekly earnings of individuals with no formal education is equal to $545. The researcher wants to test whether the average weekly earnings with no formal education is $545 or greater than that. He collects data from a sample of 120 individuals and estimates the following regression function: Y-6.91+2.30X, (1.25) (4.25) where , is the predicted value of the weekly earnings for the individual and the standard errors for the coefficients appear in parenthesis. The f-statistic for the test the researcher wants to conduct will be (Round your answer to two decimal places)
A home appraisal company would like to develop a regression model that would predict the selling price of a house based on the age of the house in years (X1), the living area of the house in square feet (X2), and the number of bedrooms (X3). The following regression model was chosen using a data set of house statistics: y=88,399554791.3333x231,471.1372x3 The first house from the data set had the following values: Selling price $324,000 Age - 22 years Square Feet 2.000 Bedrooms 3 The residual for this house is 23,558 -41,480 10,216 -16,095 27
46) The following model is a simplified version of the multiple regression model used by Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) to study the trade-off between time spent sleeping and working and to look at other factors affecting sleep: sleep = Bo + B₁totwrk + ß₂educ + ß3age +u, where sleep and totwrk (total work) are measured in minutes per week and educ and age are measured in years. (i) If adults trade off sleep for work, what is the sign of f₁? (ii) What signs do you think ₂ and 3 will have? (iii) Using the data in SLEEP75, the estimated equation is sleep = 6,241.15 + 0.211totwrk + 9.22educ + 1.67age n = 211, R² = 0.981 If someone works five more hours per week, by how many minutes is sleep predicted to fall? Is this a large tradeoff? (iv) Discuss the sign and magnitude of the estimated coefficient on educ. (v) Would you say totwrk, educ, and age explain much of the variation in sleep? What other factors might affect the time spent sleeping? Are these likely to be correlated with totwrk?
In regression analysis, a common metric used in assessing the quality of the model being used to fit the data is known as the R-squared coefficient. Explain the R-squared coefficient. What is the difference between the R-squared and adjusted R-squared coefficients?
We estimate a simple regression explaining monthly salary (salary) in terms of IQ score (IQ), using data from a random sample of 935 individuals. We obtain the following estimated regression line: salary = 117 + 8.30 × IQ What is the correct interpretation of the estimated slope coefficient? Individuals with IQ scores of 100 have, on average, monthly wages of $830. An additional one point increase in IQ score is associated, on average, with an increase in monthly salary of $8.30. An additional one point increase in IQ score is associated, on average, with a decrease in monthly salary of $8.30. Each additional one point increase in IQ score will cause an increase in an individual's monthly salary by $8.30.
