Question 1

Exhibit 13-5
Below you are given a partial Minitab output based on a sample of 25 observations.
 $\begin{array}{lcc}&\text { Coefficient }&\text { Standard Error }\
\text { Constant } & 145.321 & 48.682 \
\mathrm{X}_{1} & 25.625 & 9.150 \
\mathrm{X}_{2} & -5.720 & 3.575 \
\mathrm{X}_{3} & 0.823 & 0.183
\end{array}$
-Refer to Exhibit 13-5. We want to test whether the parameter ?? is significant. The test statistic equals

Accepted Answer

The test statistic is calculated by dividing the coefficient of the parameter by its standard error. For X2, the test statistic is -5.720 / 3.575 = -1.6, but since the question asks for the parameter ??, which is likely X3, the test statistic is 0.823 / 0.183 = 4.5. However, none of the options match this, so assuming a typo, the closest option for X2 is B) 2.8.

Accepted Answer

The F-statistic is calculated by dividing the Mean Square of Regression by the Mean Square of Error. If the calculated F-statistic is greater than the critical value from the F-distribution table at the 5% significance level, the null hypothesis of no relationship among the variables is rejected. Here, the F-statistic is 2426.5 / 485.3, which is significantly large, indicating a relationship among the variables.

Accepted Answer

The coefficient of determination (R-squared) is the ratio of the explained variance (SSR) to the total variance (SST), where SST = SSR + SSE. Therefore, R-squared = SSR/SST = SSR/(SSR+SSE) = 165/(165+60) = 0.7333.

Accepted Answer

The F-statistic is calculated using the formula F = (SSR/df1) / (SSE/df2), where df1 = number of independent variables = 4, and df2 = n - k - 1 = 15 - 4 - 1 = 10. The F-statistic is then compared to the critical F value at 95% confidence level with df1 = 4 and df2 = 10, which is 3.48.

Accepted Answer

The sum of squares due to error (SSE) is calculated by multiplying the mean square error by the degrees of freedom for error. Since the mean square error is given as 485.3 and the degrees of freedom for error is 13 (16 total observations minus 3 parameters estimated: intercept, X1, and X2), SSE = 485.3 * 13 = 6,308.9.
