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 twotailed
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.

13.30 A researcher used stepwise regression to create regression models to predict BirthRate (births per
1,000) using five predictors: LifeExp (life expectancy in years), InfMort (infant mortality rate),
Density (population density per square kilometer), GDPCap (Gross Domestic Product per capita),
and Literate (literacy percent). Interpret these results.

13.32 An expert witness in a case of alleged racial discrimination in a state university school of nursing
introduced a regression of the determinants of Salary of each professor for each year during an
8-year period (n = 423) with the following results, with dependent variable Year (year in which
the salary was observed) and predictors YearHire (year when the individual was hired), Race (1 if
individual is black, 0 otherwise), and Rank (1 if individual is an assistant professor, 0 otherwise).
Interpret these results.

14.16 (a) Plot the data on U.S. general aviation shipments. (b) Describe the pattern and discuss possible
causes. (c) Would a fitted trend be helpful? Explain. (d) Make a similar graph for 1992-2003 only.
Would a fitted trend be helpful in making a prediction for 2004? (e) Fit a trend model of your
choice to the 1992-2003 data. (f) Make a forecast for 2004, using either the fitted trend model or
a judgment forecast. Why is it best to ignore earlier years in this data set?
