Assume that you want to predict Company Performance based on the linear effects of Trust and Commitment that exist among a company’s employees
c) If you want to test whether there is a linear effect of Commitment and a curvilinear effect of Trust on Company Performance—such that Company Performance increases up to a certain level of Trust, after which Company Performance diminishes with increasing Trust levels—how would your regression equation look like? Further, explain your answer in your own words. Provide at least two sentences of explanation, in addition to giving the regression equation.
4) Use computer software to find the multiple regression equation. Can the equation be used for
prediction? A wildlife analyst gathered the data in the table to develop an equation to predict
the weights of bears. He used WEIGHT as the dependent variable and CHEST, LENGTH,
4)_
and SEX as the independent variables. For SEX, he used male-1 and female=2.

We have data on Lung Capacity of persons and we wish
to build a multiple linear regression model that predicts
Lung Capacity based on the predictors Age and
Smoking Status. Age is a numeric variable whereas
Smoke is a categorical variable (0 if non-smoker, 1 if
smoker). Here is the partial result from STATISTICA.

Which of the following statements is absolutely false?

to be 0.648588 lower than that of a non-smoker.
B. The predictor variables Age and Smoker both
contribute significantly to the model.
C. For every one year that a person gets older, the lung
capacity is expected to increase by 0.555396 units,
holding smoker status constant.
D. For every one unit increase in smoker status, lung
capacity is expected to decrease by 0.648588 units,
holding age constant.

- Does Table 1 represent a linear function? If so, finda linear equation that models the data.arrow_forwardA least squares regression line was calculated to relate the length (cm) of newborn boys to their weight in kg. The line is weight = - 5.83 + 0.163 length. Explain in words what this model means. Should new parents (who tend to worry) be concerned if their newborn's length and weight don't fit this equation? What does the given model mean? O A. The weight of a newborn boy can be predicted as - 5.83 kg plus 0.163 kg per cm of length. O B. The minimum length of a newborn baby boy can be no less than 35.7669 cm. O C. The weight of a newborn boy will always equal - 5.83 kg plus 0.163 kg per cm of length. O D. The length of a newborn boy can be predicted as - 5.83 cm plus 0.163 cm per kg of weight. Should new parents (who tend to worry) be concerned if their newborn's length and weight don't fit this equation? O A. No, because this is a model fit to divide the data.

Yes,…arrow_forwardCreate a Scatterplot of y against percentage of Pell Grant recipients among freshmen.arrow_forward
