CHAPTER 19 MODEL BUILDING SECTIONS 1 MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS In the following multiple-choice questions, please circle the correct answer. 1. The model + is referred to as: first order model with two predictor variables with no interaction first order model with two predictor variables with interaction second order model with three predictor variables with no interaction second order model with three predictor variables with interaction ANSWER: b 2. The model is referred to as a polynomial model with: one predictor variable p predictor variables (p + 1) predictor variables x predictor variables ANSWER: a 3. For the following regression equation, which combination of and, respectively, results in the largest average value of y? 3 and 5 5 and 3 6 and 3 3 and 6 ANSWER: c 4. Which of the following statements is false regarding the graph of the third – order polynomial model ? When is negative, y decreases over the range of x When is positive, y increases over the range of x The number of real – life applications of this model is quite large. Statistics practitioners often encounter problems involving more than one curvature reversal The coefficients, and determine the position of the curvature changes, while the coefficient determines the point at which the curve interacts the y – axis ANSWER: c 5. For the following regression equation, a unit increase in , while holding constant at a value of 3, decreases the value of y on average by: 56 22 50 An amount that depends on the value of ANSWER: b 6. Suppose that the sample regression line of the first order model is. If we examine the relationship between y and for four different values of, we observe that the: effect of x on y remains the same no matter what the value of x effect of x on y remains the same no matter what the value of x only difference in the four equations produced is the coefficient of x not enough information is given to answer this question ANSWER: a 7
