3. Use data in BUSI1013 Credit Card Balance.xlsx to complete the following. You will need to use a statistical package such as StatTools or the Regression program within Excel’s Data Analysis Add-in to generate the estimated regression equation and the ANOVA etc. (12 points)
   
   1. What is the estimated regression equation using Account Balance as the dependent variable, and Income, Years of Education, as well as Size of Household as the independent variable?
   2. Comment on the goodness of fit of the model using the coefficient of determination.
   3. Conduct an F test with the critical value approach to see whether the overall model is significant. Use α = 0.01.
   4. Perform a t test with p-value approach for the significance of the Income variable. Use α = 0.05.
   5. Perform a t test with the p-value approach for the significance of the Size of Household variable. Use α = 0.05.
   6. Estimate the Account Balance of a customer who has an income of $62 thousand, 14 years of education, and a household size of 3.

Answer 1

a:

Following is the output of regression anaysis generated by excel:

The multiple regression equation is

(b)

The coefficient of determination is

It shows that 77.2% of variation in accoutn balance is explained by model that is by the independent variables Income, Years of Education, Size of Household.

(c)

The F test statistics is

F = 45.10

The critical value of F using excel function "=FINV(0.01,3,40)" is

Since so we can conclude that model is significant.

(d)

The test statistics for income variable is

t = 10.186

The p-value is

p-value = 0.0000

Since p-value is less than α = 0.05 so income variable is significant to the model.

(e)

The test statistics for Size of Household variable is

t = 1.707

The p-value is

p-value = 0.0956

Since p-value is greater than α = 0.05 so Size of Household variable is not significant to the model.

(f)

The estimated account balance is
