TABLE 14-11
A weight-loss clinic wants to use regression analysis to build a model for weight loss of a client (measured in pounds).Two variables thought to affect weight loss are client's length of time on the weight-loss program and time of session.These variables are described below:
Y = Weight loss (in pounds)
X 1 = Length of time in weight-loss program (in months)
X 2 = 1 if morning session,0 if not
Data for 25 clients on a weight-loss program at the clinic were collected and used to fit the interaction model:
Y = β 0 + β 1 X 1 + β 2 X 2 + β 3 X 1 X 2 + ε
Output from Microsoft Excel follows:
-True or False: Referring to Table 14-11,the overall model for predicting weight loss (Y)is statistically significant at the 0.05 level.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The p-value for the F-statistic is less than 0.05, indicating that the overall model is statistically significant at the 0.05 level.
