3. The director of marketing at Reeves Wholesale Products is studying the monthly sales. Three independent variables were selected as estimators of sales: regional population, per-capita income and regional unemployment rate. The regression equation was computed to be (in pounds).
Y' = 64,100 + 0.394X1 + 9.6X2 + 11,600X3
a) What is the full name of the equation?
b) Interpret the number 64,100.
c) What are the estimated monthly sales for a particular region with a population of 796,000, per-capita income of £6,940 and an unemployment rate of 6.0%?
4. A sample of widowed senior citizens was studied to determine their degree of satisfaction with their present life. A special index, called the index of satisfaction, was used to measure satisfaction. Six factors were studied, namely, age at the time of first marriage (X1), annual income (X2), number of children living (X3), value of all assets (X4), status of health in the form of an index (X5) and the average number of social activities per week - such as bowling and dancing (X6). Suppose the multiple regression equation is:
Y' = 16.24 + 0.017X1 + 0.0028X2 + 42X3 + 0.0012X4 + 0.19X5 + 26.8X6
a) What is the estimated index of satisfaction for a person who first married at
18, has an annual income of £26,500, has 3 children living, has assets of £156,000, has an index of health status of 141 and has 2.5 social activities a week on the average?
b) Which would add more to satisfaction, an additional income of £10,000 a
year or 2 more social activities a week?

Total 21 10,000.00
a) Complete the ANOVA table.
b) Conduct a global test of hypothesis, using the 0.05 significance level. Can we conclude that any of the net regression coefficients are different from zero?
c) Conduct a test of hypothesis on each of the regression coefficients. Could you delete any of the variables?

Measures of Central Tendency
Tests knowledge of the three main measures of central tendency, including some simple calculation questions.
Know Your Statistical Concepts
Each question is a choice-summary multiple choice question that presents you with a statistical concept and then 4 numbered statements. You must decide which (if any) of the numbered statements is/are true as they relate to the statistical concept.
Measures of Central Tendency
This quiz evaluates the students understanding of the measures of central tendency seen in statistics. This quiz is specifically designed to incorporate the measures of central tendency as they relate to psychological research.
