Question 29

Essay

Here is a logistic regression equation:
Dependent Variable: Remove Book? (Yes=0, No=1)

 Independent Variable  Slope  Education (in years) .24 Biblical Literalist ( No=0,1=Yes) .99 Race (White=0, Black=1) .53 Constant 2.89\begin{array}{lc}\text { Independent Variable } &\text { Slope } \\\text { Education (in years) } &.24 * * * \\\text { Biblical Literalist ( No=0,1=Yes) } &-.99 * * * \\\text { Race (White=0, Black=1) } &.-53 * * \\\text { Constant } &-2.89\end{array} Based on the results, describe the two extreme possibilities (i.e. the two types of people whose probabilities would differ the most) and then calculate probabilities for both of them.
