Answer to Problem 29.32CYS

Correct answer:

Option (a): 4.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct answer:

The problem deals with the treadmill display showing the calories per hour by speed for a 175-pound male who is running on a Cybex treadmill, and it is inclined at 0%, 2%, and 4%.

The explanatory variables are given below:

x1=Mph

x2=Incline

x3=IndSlow as 1 if Mph3, IndSlow as 0 if Mph>3

The parameters used in the given problem are 4, which is defined as follows:

β0 is the intercept term.

β1 is the effect due to Mph.

β2 is the effect due to Incline.

β3 is the effect due to indicator variable x3 .

Thus, there are 4 parameters in the given multiple regression model.

Reason for incorrect answers:

Option (b): 5.

The given options suggest that there are 5 parameters in the given regression model.

By using the theory of multiple regression, it is identified that there are only 4 parameters given in the model. Thus, the given option is incorrect.

Option (c): 6

The given option suggest that there are 6 parameters in the given regression model.

By using the theory of multiple regression, it is identified that there are only 4 parameters given in the model. Thus, the given option is incorrect.

Thus, the options (b) and (c) are incorrect.

Conclusion:

Thus, there are 4 parameters in the given multiple regression model.

Statistics Concept Introduction

Introduction:

Multiple Linear Regression:

Consider the number of observation on n individuals for which each observation has p explanatory variables x1,x2,...,xp and a response variable y. The general form of multiple linear regression model is given below:

μy=β0+β1x1+β2x2+...βpxp,

Where, μy is the mean response and β's are the unknown parameters.

Suppose the Internal Revenue Service reported that the mean tax refund for the year 2022 was $3401. Assume the standard deviation is $82.5 and that the amounts refunded follow a normal probability distribution. Solve the following three parts? (For the answer to question 14, 15, and 16, start with making a bell curve. Identify on the bell curve where is mean, X, and area(s) to be determined. 1.What percent of the refunds are more than $3,500? 2. What percent of the refunds are more than $3500 but less than $3579? 3. What percent of the refunds are more than $3325 but less than $3579?
A normal distribution has a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 4. Solve the following three parts? 1. Compute the probability of a value between 44.0 and 55.0. (The question requires finding probability value between 44 and 55. Solve it in 3 steps. In the first step, use the above formula and x = 44, calculate probability value. In the second step repeat the first step with the only difference that x=55. In the third step, subtract the answer of the first part from the answer of the second part.) 2. Compute the probability of a value greater than 55.0. Use the same formula, x=55 and subtract the answer from 1. 3. Compute the probability of a value between 52.0 and 55.0. (The question requires finding probability value between 52 and 55. Solve it in 3 steps. In the first step, use the above formula and x = 52, calculate probability value. In the second step repeat the first step with the only difference that x=55. In the third step, subtract the answer of the first part from the…
