Please refer to the attached regression output. Here we are using years of experience, college GPA, and company entrance score to predict employee salaries at a local firm.
2. We would conclude that the overall model (using all three explanatory variables) is statistically significant at the .05 level. (3)
a. true b. false
c. We should perform partial t-tests. (True / False) (2) d. Which of the variables are significant predictors? (4)
3. The most useful predictor in the presence of the other explanatory variables is __________. (2)
4. Multicollinearity is (3)
- severe.
- mild.
- nonexistent.
5. Which of the following combinations would be expected to yield the highest pay? Values are years, GPA, and score. (3)
- 5, 3.7, 80
- 7, 3.2, 85
- 8, 3.6, 85
- 5, 3.8, 85
- The percentage of variation in salary explained by the three x-variables is ______. (3)
- The model in Summary Output 2 uses only entrance score to predict salary.
- The sample slope = ________. (2)
- The sample intercept = ________. (2)
- The correlation is __________. (positive or negative) (2)
- The percentage of variation in salary explained by score is ____. (2)
- This a useful model. (True / False) (3)
8. For the following regression models (computed using the same set of data), which statement is most appropriate? (5)
Model 1 | Model 2 | Model 3 | |
X-variables | 6 | 4 | 3 |
R2 | .9344 | .9277 | .8761 |
Adjusted R2 | .9058 | .9133 | .8497 |
MSE | 5867.53 | 5746.09 | 5844.78 |
a.
b.
- Model 1 performs the best in all areas.
- Model 3 performs better than Model 2.
- We would most likely prefer Model 1.
- We would most likely prefer Model 2.
- We would most likely prefer Model 3.
