SCENARIO 17-6 A weight-loss clinic wants to use regression analysis to build a model for weight-loss of a client (measured in pounds).

Question 38

SCENARIO 17-6 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) = Length of time in weight-loss program (in months) =1 if morning session, 0 if not =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: $\quad Y = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 } X _ { 1 } + \beta _ { 2 } X _ { 2 } + \beta _ { 3 } X _ { 3 } + \beta _ { 4 } X _ { 1 } X _ { 2 } + \beta _ { 5 } X _ { 1 } X _ { 3 } + \varepsilon$ Partial output from Microsoft Excel follows: Regression Statistics Multiple R 0.73514 R Square 0.540438 Adjusted R Square 0.157469 Standard Error 12.4147 Observations 12 $\text { ANOVA }$ $F=5.41118 \quad \text { Significance } F=0.040201$ Coeff StdError t Stat P -value Intercept 0.089744 14.127 0.0060 0.9951 Length 6.22538 2.43473 2.54956 0.0479 Morn Ses 2.217272 22.1416 0.100141 0.9235 Aft Ses 11.8233 3.1545 3.558901 0.0165 Length*Morn Ses 0.77058 3.562 0.216334 0.8359 Length"Aft Ses -0.54147 3.35988 -0.161158 0.8773 -Referring to Scenario 17-6, which of the following statements is supported by the analysis shown? a) There is sufficient evidence (at $\alpha = 0.05$ ) of curvature in the relationship between weight-loss $( Y )$ and months in program $\left( X _ { 1 } \right)$ . b) There is sufficient evidence (at $\alpha = 0.05$ ) to indicate that the relationship between weight-loss $( Y )$ and months in program $\left( X _ { 1 } \right)$ depends on session time. c) There is sufficient evidence (at $\alpha = 0.10$ ) to indicate that the session time (morning, afternoon, evening) affects weight-loss $( Y )$ . d) There is insufficient evidence (at $\alpha = 0.10$ ) to indicate that the relationship between weight-loss $( Y )$ and months in program $\left( X _ { 1 } \right)$ depends on session time.

Question 39

A powerful women's group has claimed that men and women differ in attitudes about sexual discrimination. A group of 50 men (group 1) and 40 women (group 2) were asked if they thought Sexual discrimination is a problem in the United States. Of those sampled, 11 of the men and 19 Of the women did believe that sexual discrimination is a problem. Which of the following tests Will you use to find out if there is any difference in attitudes about sexual discrimination?
