2 Due Monday, April 8, 2013 (6pm) Sections True/False (24 x 5 points each) = 120 points Multiple Choice Questions (36 x 5 points each) = 180 points Problem Solving (4 x 50 points each) = 200 points Total = 500 points
3 True/False Questions 1. For an ANOVA test, rejection of the null hypothesis does not identify which treatment means differ significantly. 2. In an ANOVA table, k represents the total number of sample observations and n represents the total number of treatments. 3. If a confidence interval for the difference between a pair of treatment means includes 0, then we reject the null hypothesis that there is no difference in the pair of treatment means. 4. If we want to determine which treatment means differ, we compute a confidence interval for the difference between each pair of means. 5. When a blocking effect is included in an ANOVA, the result is a larger error sum of squares. 6. When a blocking effect is included in an ANOVA, the analysis is more likely to detect differences in the treatment means. 7. In a two-way ANOVA with interaction, there are two factor effects and an interaction effect. 8. Interaction between two factors occurs when the effect of one factor on the response variable is the same for any value of another factor. 9. If the coefficient of determination is expressed as a percent, its value is between 0% and 100%. 10. One assumption underlying linear regression is that the Y values are statistically dependent. This means that in selecting a sample, the Y values chosen, for a particular X value, depend on the Y values for any other X value. 11. The least squares technique minimizes the sum of the squares of the vertical distances between the actual Y values and the predicted values of Y. 12. The values of a and b in the regression equation are called the regression coefficients.
4 13. The hypothesis to test the slope of a regression equation is H 0 : α = The regression equation is used to estimate a value of the dependent variable Y based on a selected value of the independent variable X. 15. In regression analysis, error is defined as ( - Y). 16. A confidence interval can be determined for the mean value of Y for a given value of X. 17. An example of a dummy variable is "time to product's first repair" in years. 18. The variance inflation factor is used to select or remove independent variables to reduce the effects of multicollinearity in a multiple regression equation. 19. In multiple regression analysis, a residual is the difference between the value of an independent variable and its corresponding dependent variable value. 20. For a global test of a multiple regression equation, the F-statistic is based on the regression and residual degrees of freedom. 21. Interaction occurs when the relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable is affected by another independent variable. 22. In a multiple regression equation with three independent variables, X 1, X 2, and X 3, the interaction term is expressed as (Y)(X 1 ). 23. Stepwise regression analysis is a method that assists in selecting the most significant variables for a multiple regression equation. 24. Stepwise regression analysis is also called a "backward elimination" method.
5 Multiple Choice Questions 1. When testing for differences between treatment means, the t statistic is based on: A. The treatment degrees of freedom. B. The total degrees of freedom. C. The error degrees of freedom. D. The ratio of treatment and error degrees of freedom. 2. When testing for differences between treatment means, a confidence interval is based on A. the mean square error. B. the standard deviation. C. the sum of squared errors. D. the standard error of the mean. 3. When testing for differences between treatment means, the degrees of freedom for the t statistic are: A. k B. (n - 1) C. (n - k) D. (1/n 1 + 1/n 2 ) 4.

17 4. (50 points) Twenty-one executives in a large corporation were randomly selected for a study to determine the effect of several factors on annual salary (expressed in $000's). The factors selected were age, seniority, years of college, number of company divisions they had been exposed to and the level of their responsibility. A regression analysis was performed using a popular spreadsheet program with the following regression output: Write out the multiple regression equation. Which independent variable has the most significant effect on annual salary? What proportion of the total variation in salary is accounted for by the set of independent variables? Test the hypothesis that the regression coefficient for age is equal to 0 at the 0.05 significance level. Report the degrees of freedom, the test statistic, the critical value, and your decision.
