Question 7

Short Answer

Use computer software to find the multiple regression equation. Can the equation be used for_ prediction? A wildlife analyst gathered the data in the table to develop an equation to predict
The weights of bears. He used WEIGHT as the dependent variable and CHEST, LENGTH,
And SEX as the independent variables. For SEX, he used male=1 and female=2.  WEIGHT  CHEST  LENGTH  SEX 34445.067.5141654.072.0122041.070.0236049.068.5133244.073.0114032.063.0243648.072.0113233.061.0235648.064.0215035.059.0120240.063.0236550.070.51\begin{array}{cccc}\hline \text { WEIGHT } & \text { CHEST } & \text { LENGTH } & \text { SEX } \\\hline 344 & 45.0 & 67.5 & 1 \\416 & 54.0 & 72.0 & 1 \\220 & 41.0 & 70.0 & 2 \\360 & 49.0 & 68.5 & 1 \\332 & 44.0 & 73.0 & 1 \\140 & 32.0 & 63.0 & 2 \\436 & 48.0 & 72.0 & 1 \\132 & 33.0 & 61.0 & 2 \\356 & 48.0 & 64.0 & 2 \\150 & 35.0 & 59.0 & 1 \\202 & 40.0 & 63.0 & 2 \\365 & 50.0 & 70.5 & 1 \\\hline\end{array}

A) WEIGHT =196+2.35= 196 + 2.35 CHEST +3.40LENGTH+25SEX+ 3.40 \mathrm { LENGTH } + 25 \mathrm { SEX } ; Yes, because the R2R ^ { 2 } is high.
B) WEIGHT =320+10.6CHEST+7.3LENGTH10.7SEX= - 320 + 10.6 \mathrm { CHEST } + 7.3 \mathrm { LENGTH } - 10.7 \mathrm { SEX } ; Yes, because the PP -value is high. C) WEIGHT =442.6+12.1= - 442.6 + 12.1 CHEST + 3.6LENGTH 23.8- 23.8 SEX; Yes, because the adjusted R2R ^ { 2 } is high.
D) WEIGHT =442.6+12= 442.6 + 12 .1CHEST +4.2+ 4.2 LENGTH 21- 21 SEX; Yes, because the PP -value is low.
