Accounting and Machiavellianism. Refer to the Behavioral Research in Accounting (January 2008) study of Machiavellian traits (e.g., manipulation, cunning, duplicity, deception, and bad faith) in accountants, Exercise 9.8 (p. 505). Recall that a Mach rating score was determined for each in a sample of accounting alumni of a large southwestern university. For one portion of the study, the researcher modeled an accountant's Mach score (y) as a
Independent Variable | t-Value for H0 :βi = 0 | p-Value |
Age (x1,) | 0.10 | >.10 |
Gender (x2) | −0.5 5 | >.10 |
Education (x3) | 1.95 | <.01 |
Income (x4) | 052 | >.10 |
Overall model: R2 = 13, F = 4.71 (p-value< 01) |
a. Conduct a test of overall model utility. Use α = .05.
b. Interpret the coefficient of determination, R2.
c. Is there sufficient evidence (at α = .05) to say that income is a statistically useful predictor of Mach score?

- What is meant by the sample space of an experiment?arrow_forwardUrban Travel Times Population of cities and driving times are related, as shown in the accompanying table, which shows the 1960 population N, in thousands, for several cities, together with the average time T, in minutes, sent by residents driving to work. City Population N Driving time T Los Angeles 6489 16.8 Pittsburgh 1804 12.6 Washington 1808 14.3 Hutchinson 38 6.1 Nashville 347 10.8 Tallahassee 48 7.3 An analysis of these data, along with data from 17 other cities in the United States and Canada, led to a power model of average driving time as a function of population. a Construct a power model of driving time in minutes as a function of population measured in thousands b Is average driving time in Pittsburgh more or less than would be expected from its population? c If you wish to move to a smaller city to reduce your average driving time to work by 25, how much smaller should the city be?arrow_forward
