Chapter 12, Problem 68CE
Simple regression was employed to establish the effects of childhood exposure to lead. The effective sample size was about 122 subjects. The independent variable was the level of dentin lead (parts per million). Below are regressions using various dependent variables. (a) Calculate the t statistic for each slope. (b) From the p-values, which slopes differ from zero at α = .01? (c) Do you feel that cause and effect can be assumed? Hint: Do a web search for information about effects of childhood lead exposure.

Simple regression was employed to establish the effects of childhood exposure to lead. The effective sample size was about 122 subjects. The independent variable was the level of dentin lead (parts per million). Below are regressions using various dependent variables. (a) Calculate the t statistic for each slope, at significance level = 0.01. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

A researcher wants to predict the effect of the number of times a person eats every day and the number of times they exercise on BMI. What statistical test would work best?
A. Pearson's R
B. Spearman Rho
C. Linear regression
D. Multiple regression
Using the lengths (in.), chest sizes (in.), and weights (lb) of bears from a data set, the resulting regression equation is Weight=-274 +0.426 Length + 12.1 Chest Size. The P-value is 0.000 and the adjusted R² value is 0.925. If an additional predictor variable of neck size (in.) is
included, the P-value becomes 0.000 and the adjusted R² becomes 0.933. Why is it better to use values of adjusted R² instead of simply using values of R²?
Choose the correct answer below.
C
O A. The unadjusted R² can only be calculated for regression equations with two or fewer predictor variables, while the adjusted R² can be calculated for regression equations with any number of predictor variables.
O B. The unadjusted R² increases or remains the same as more variables are included, but the adjusted R² is adjusted for the number of variables and sample size.
OC. The unadjusted R² can only be calculated for regression equations with P-values greater than 0, while the adjusted R² can be calculated for…
