Chapter Review #1

List two limitations of bivariate regression.

Often simplistic (multiple relationships usually exist.

Biased estimates, even if relevant predictors are omitted.

Why is estimating a multiple regression model just as easy as bivariate regression?

Because a computer does all the calculations so there is no extra computational burden.

12.48

In the following regression, X = weekly pay, Y = income tax withheld, and n = 35 McDonald's employees. (a) Write the fitted regression equation. (b) State the degrees of freedom for a two-tailed test for zero slope, and use Appendix D to find the critical value at α = .05. (c) What is your conclusion about the slope? (d) Interpret the 95 percent confidence limits for the slope. (e) Verify that F = t2 for the slope. (f) In your own words, describe the fit of this regression.
