(2)
Write the regression equation below here
(1)
What percent of the variance is
unaccounted for by the above predictor variables?
(2) From the above analysis, if we take the
square root of the MS residual, what is that number called and what does it
reflect?
(2) Which predictor variable has the
strongest relationship to Y and how do you know this
(1) What percent of the total variability
is uniquely accounted for by IQ (hint examine the part correlations)
(1)
What number is in the
denominator of the t-test for testing the significance of the predictor study
time?
(2) With study
time in the model, for each unit change in IQ how much of a change occurs in Y
and in what direction
(2) With IQ in
the model, for each standard deviation change in Study time how much of a
standard deviation change in Y occurs and in what direction
(1) What number is in the denominator of
the t-test for testing the significance of the predictor IQ?
2 (10 Points) A statistics professor
conducts a study to investigate the relationship between the performance of
students on his exams and their anxiety Ten students from his class are

scores for the students

With all four variables in the
model what percent of the variance is accounted for?
2
With all other variables in the
model, for each unit change in responsibility how much of a change occurs in Y
and in what direction
3
With all other variables in the
model, for each standard deviation change in years of service how much of a
standard deviation change in Y occurs and in what direction
4

accounts for a significant amount of the variance in Y?
5
Using the simultaneous multiple
regression procedure, which of the five predictors accounts for the largest
amount of the variance in Y and how do you know this?

gives us the error in prediction (put an actual number in here)
