Question

Suppose the probability π(x) of failing a course as a function of time x

spent per week studying the course is well-fitted by a logistic regression equation with

log(π(x)/1−π(x))=4−2.1x

 

(log here is the natural logarithm)

For this prediction model, what is the probability of failing the course if a student spends only for 2 hours per week studying the course?
A. 0.55
B. 0.45
C. -0.2
D. 0.2

Using this model, would you recommend your friend to take the course if he has only 6 hours to spend per week on the course?
A. Yes, I recommend my friend because it is very unlikely to fail the course.
B. No, I do not recommend my friend because it is very unlikely to pass the course.
C. Hard to predict because there is a 50-50 chance to fail the course.
D. Yes, I recommend my friend because it is very likely to fail the course.
