Cоnsider а study оf the sаvings оf n = 33 individuаls along with their age. It is apparent that Y = Savings (in $) has a positive association with X = Age (in years). An appropriate regression model relating Savings to Age could be useful for predicting savings based on age. The most straightforward approach would be to fit a simple linear regression (SLR) model for Y vs X, provided that the LINE assumptions are satisfied. Type your answers to the following questions in the text box below making sure to reference the relevant Minitab output in your answers. a. (7 pts) Residual plots for an SLR model for Y vs X are as follows. Use the plots to determine if the LINE assumptions are satisfied, making sure to include a numerical test when checking for normality. b. (7 pts) Your analysis in part (a) should have indicated natural log transformations could be usefully applied to both X and Y. Residual plots for an SLR model for ln(Y) vs ln(X) are as follows. Use the plots to determine if the LINE assumptions are better satisfied for this model relative to the model in part (a), making sure to include a numerical test when checking for normality. c. (5 pts) Use relevant parts of the following output based on the model in part (b) to compute a 95% confidence interval for the mean amount of savings (in $) expected for 40 year-olds. [Hint: Not all the output is relevant. Remember to take into account the transformations to X and Y.] d. (5 pts) Use relevant parts of the output from part (c) to compute a 95% prediction interval for the amount of savings (in $) predicted for an individual 40 year-old based on the fitted model in part (c). [Hint: Not all the output is relevant. Remember to take into account the transformations to X and Y.]
Cоnsider а study оf current sаlаries (Salary in thоusands of dollars) for n=63 individuals with information about their years of work experience (YrsExp) and highest degree attained (Degree). The goal was to fit a regression model to express the dependence of Y (Salary) on X (YrsExp) and Degree. Type your answers to the following questions in the text box below making sure to reference the relevant Minitab output in your answers. a. (6 pts) Clearly define a set of indicator variables that could be used in a regression model to represent the qualitative variable Degree. [Hint: Think carefully about the number of indicator variables needed given the number of levels of Degree and use "Bachelor" as the reference level.] b. (6 pts) Write a population multiple linear regression equation for predicting the current salary in terms of YrsExp and Degree. Since education level could impact the dependence of Y on X, include in the model interaction effects between YrsExp and Degree, together with their main effects. [Hint: Your equation should include Y, X, the indicator variables you defined in part (a), interaction terms, and population regression coefficients (β’s). Do not include estimated coefficients, i.e., numbers, in this part.] c. (8 pts) Conduct a single hypothesis test based on the model from part (b) to determine whether the average annual salary increase per year of experience differs by level of education. Write the null and alternative hypotheses, the test statistic, the p-value, and the conclusion based on a significance level of 0.05. Use relevant parts of the following Minitab output to support your answer. [Not all the output is relevant.] d. (8 pts) Write a new population regression equation based on your conclusion to part (c). Then conduct two separate hypothesis tests for whether the mean salary for a fixed number of years’ experience differs by education level. For each test, write out the null and alternative hypotheses, the test statistic, the p-value, and the conclusion based on a significance level of 0.05. Use relevant parts of the following Minitab output to support your answer. [Not all the output is relevant.] e. (6 pts) Based on your conclusion to part (d), write three fitted regression equations that can be used to predict the current salary for each education level. [Hint: Your equations should include number values, not β’s.] f. (4 pts) Based on one of the equations from part (e), predict the current salary of a PhD degree holder with 10 years of work experience. A point estimate is sufficient, but remember to include the measurement units.
