Chapter 14, Problem 70CR

A study of pregnant grey seals resulted in n = 25 observations on the variables y = Fetus progesterone level (mg), x1 = Felus sex (0 = male, 1 = female), x2 = Fetus length (cm), and x3 = Fetus weight (g). Minitab output for the model using all three independent variables is given (“Gonadotropin and Progesterone Concentration in Placenta of Grey Seals,” Journal of Reproduction and Fertility [1984]: 521–528).

The regression equation is Y = −1.98 − 1.87X1 + .234X2 + .0001X3

s = 4.189 R-sq = 55.2% R-sq(adj) = 48.8%

Analysis of Variance

Chapter 14, Problem 70CR, A study of pregnant grey seals resulted in n = 25 observations on the variables y = Fetus , example  2

  1. a. Use information from the Minitab output to test the hypothesis H0: β1 = β2 = β3 = 0.
  2. b. Using an elimination criterion of −2 ≤ t ratio ≤ 2, should any variable be eliminated? If so, which one?
  3. c. Minitab output for the regression using only x1 = Sex and x2 = Length is given. Would you recommend keeping both and x2 in the model? Explain.

    The regression equation is Y = −2.09 − 1.87X1 + .240X2

Chapter 14, Problem 70CR, A study of pregnant grey seals resulted in n = 25 observations on the variables y = Fetus , example  3

s = 4.093 R-sq = 55.2% R-sq(adj) = 51.2%

  1. d. After elimination of both x3 and x1, the estimated regression equation is ŷ = −2.61 + 0.231x2. The corresponding values of R2 and se are 0.527 and 4.116, respectively. Interpret these values.
  2. e. Referring to Part (d), how would you interpret the value of b2 = 0.231? Does it make sense to interpret the value of a as the estimate of average progesterone level when length is zero? Explain.

An article used an estimated regression equation to describe the relationship between y = error percentage for subjects reading a four-digit liquid crystal display and the independent variables x1 = level of backlight, x2 = character subtense, x3 = viewing angle, and  x4 = level of ambient light. From a table given in the article, SSRegr = 20.4, SSResid = 21, and n = 30. Calculate the test statistic and calculate P- value. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) F =  P- value=
Coastal State University is conducting a study regarding the possible relationship between the cumulative grade point average and the annual income of its recent graduates. A random sample of 147 Coastal State graduates from the last five years was selected, and it was found that the least-squares regression equation relating cumulative grade point average (denoted by x, on a 4-point scale) and annual income (denoted by y, in thousands of dollars) was y = 37.79+5.51x. The standard error of the slope of this least-squares regression line was approximately 2.10. Test for a significant linear relationship between grade point average and annual income for the recent graduates of Coastal State by doing a hypothesis test regarding the population slope B1. (Assume that the variable y follows a normal distribution for each value of x and that the other regression assumptions are satisfied.) Use the 0.05 level of significance, and perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. (If…
A year-long fitness center study sought to determine if there is a relationship between the amount of muscle mass gained y(kilograms) and the weekly time spent working out under the guidance of a trainer x(minutes). The resulting least-squares regression line for the study is y=2.04 + 0.12x A) predictions using this equation will be fairly good since about 95% of the variation in muscle mass can be explained by the linear relationship with time spent working out. B)Predictions using this equation will be faily good since about 90.25% of the variation in muscle mass can be explained by the linear relationship with time spent working out C)Predictions using this equation will be fairly poor since only about 95% of the variation in muscle mass can be explained by the linear relationship with time spent working out D) Predictions using this equation will be fairly poor since only about 90.25% of the variation in muscle mass can be explained by the linear relationship with time spent…
