1) A multiple regression model to predict nacho sales at a baseball game yields the following coefficients:
Intercept 1500
Home Team Score 80
Temp. (Degrees F) 100
Home Team Loss? -2000
Assuming that all variables in this model are significant, what would be the expected result of the home team scoring another run?
A- There would be no effect
B- Nacho sales would increase by 80
C- Nacho sales would decrease by 80
D- Not enough info
2) The regression models that we have attempt to describe
A- Future occurrences
B- Time series data
C- None of these
D- A linear relationship between two or more variables
3) A simple regression model is really a hypothesis tests against two models. What is the null hypothesis model?
A- The "Full Model"
B- Beta 1 (aka Intercept = 0)
C- None of these
D- The Intercept (aka Beta 1 = 0)
4) A regression model attempts to correlate a student's exam grade with the number of hours spent studying. The resulting output is:
y = 45 + 7x
If a student spent 5.5 studying hours for the exam, what is the students predicted score?
A- None of these
B- 6.5
C- 83.5
D- 52
5) True or False:
In a multiple regression model, we can only evaluate the marginal effect of a change in one variable at a time
Why is it true or false?
6) A multiple regression model returns the following overall results:
R-Square = 0.75
P-Value = 0.22
Is this a good model to use? Why or why not? What might be causing these factors?
