TABLE 13-11
A weight-loss clinic wants to use regression analysis to build a model for weight loss of a client (measured in pounds) . Two variables thought to affect weight loss are client's length of time on the weight loss program and time of session. These variables are described below:
Y = Weight loss (in pounds)
X1 = Length of time in weight-loss program (in months)
X2 = 1 if morning session, 0 if not
X3 = 1 if afternoon session, 0 if not (Base level = evening session)
Data for 12 clients on a weight-loss program at the clinic were collected and used to fit the interaction model:
Y = β0 + β1X1 + β2X2 + β3X3 + β4X1X2 + β5X1X3 + ε
Partial output from Microsoft Excel follows:
-Referring to Table 13-11, which of the following statements is supported by the analysis shown?
A) There is sufficient evidence (at α = 0.05) of curvature in the relationship between weight loss (Y) and months in program(X₁) .
B) There is sufficient evidence (at α = 0.05) to indicate that the relationship between weight loss (Y) and months in program (X₁) depends on session time.
C) There is sufficient evidence (at α = 0.10) to indicate that the session time (morning, afternoon, evening) affects weight loss (Y) .
D) There is insufficient evidence (at α = 0.10) to indicate that the relationship between weight loss (Y) and months in program(X₁) depends on session time.
