Chapter 15.5, Problem 21E
The following estimated regression equation was developed for a model involving two independent variables.
ŷ = 40.7 + 8.63x1 + 2.71x2
After x2 was dropped from the model, the least squares method was used to obtain an estimated regression equation involving only x1 as an independent variable.
ŷ = 42.0 + 9.01x1
- a. Give an interpretation of the coefficient of x1 in both models.
- b. Could multicollinearity explain why the coefficient of x1 differs in the two models? If so, how?

A study was conducted among a smaple of undergraduate students to find the relationship between the number of cups of coffee consumed (x) and
level of anxiety (y). The following least squares regression equation was obtained as a result of the study:
ý = 0.3 + 0.0342z
The obtained regression equation implies which of the following?
Each cup of coffee consumed increases anxiety level by 30.0%
Each cup of coffee consumed increases anxiety level by an average amoint of 3.42%

A biologist is interested in predicting the brain weight (in grams) of a certain species of bird from its
body weight (in grams). A least squares regression line was fit to data collected from a random
sample of 28 birds of this species. The equation of the line is
ŷ = 3.79 + 0.08x
where ŷ is the predicted brain weight and x is the body weight of the bird. Which of the following
gives the best interpretation of the slope of the regression line?
(A) There is an increase of 0.08 grams in the predicted brain weight of this species of bird for every
increase of 1 gram in body weight.
(B) There is an increase of 0.08 grams in the predicted body weight of this species of bird for every
increase of 1 gram in brain weight.
(C) There is an increase of 3.79 grams in the predicted brain weight of this species of bird for every
increase of 1 gram in body weight.
