16. Choose the best way to interpret the estimated coefficient for
Mother.: *
(A) Every extra inch in height of the mother causes the student to be 0.299 inches taller.
(B) Holding the fathers height constant, every additional inch in height from the mother is
associated with an increase of 0.299 inches on average in the students height.
(C) Holding the fathers height constant, every additional inch in height from the mother is
associated with a decrease of 0.299 inches on average in the students height.
(D) The coefficient of 0.299 does not have a practical interpretation.
21. You are running a multiple regression model with eight predictor
variables. At least some of the variables in the full model are
insignificant at = 0.05. A backwards elimination procedure would
begin with which steps?: *
(A) Drop the one variable with the highest p-value above 0.05, and refit the model to the
data.
(B) Drop the two variables with the highest p-values above 0.05, and refit the model to the
data.
(C) Drop all variables with p-values above 0.05, and refit the model to the data.
(D) Drop all variables with p-values above 0.05. The variables remaining will provide the
final model.
22. We fit a simple linear regression model using price (in dollars) to
predict the number of packets of dog biscuits sold per day. The
regression equation is y = 98.1 - 9.8x, and R2 = 0.5275.
