Textbook Question
Chapter 12.6, Problem 12.58ACB
Assertiveness and leadership. Management professors at Columbia University examined the relationship between assertiveness and leadership (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, February 2007) The sample represented 388 people enrolled in a full-time MBA program. Based on answers to a questionnaire, the researchers measured two variables for each subject assertiveness score (x) and leadership ability score (y). A quadratic regression model was fit to the data, with the following results:
- a. Conduct a test of overall model utility. Use α =.05.
- b. The researchers hypothesized that leadership ability increases at a decreasing rate with assertiveness. Set up the null and alternative hypotheses to test this theory.
- c. Use the reported results to conduct the test, part b. Give your conclusion (at α = .05) in the words of the problem.

Is CEO compensation related to a company's performance?
To test whether CEO compensation and a company's stock performance are related, a financial analyst collected data on
12
randomly selected, publicly traded companies. For each company, the analyst looked at two variables: the percent change in stock price over the past five years (which she denoted
x
) and the percent change in CEO compensation over the past five years (which she denoted
y
). For these
12
companies, the least-squares regression equation relating the two variables was
=y+−0.1650.046x
, and the standard error of the slope of this least-squares regression line was approximately
0.028
.
Using her information, test for a significant linear relationship between these two variables by doing a hypothesis test regarding the population slope
β1
. (Assume that the variable
y
follows a normal distribution for each value of
x
and that the other regression assumptions are satisfied.) Use the…
Bill wants to explore factors affecting work stress. He would like to examine the relationship between age, number of years at the workplace, perceived social support, and work stress. He collects data on the variables from 100 employees (males and females) working in banks.
Conduct a multiple regression analysis to answer the following questions:
What is the relationship of age, number of years, and social support with work stress?
Is the regression significant? If yes, what does it indicate?
What is the regression equation for all the predictors?
