Question

study was conducted to determine the effects of linguistic delivery style and client credibility on auditors' judgments. The three variables of interest —credibility (x1), linguistic delivery style (x2) and likelihood (y)—were all measured on a numerical scale. Regression analysis was used to fit the model y=0+1x1+2x2+3x1x2+.

                                             Beta estimate      Std error             t-statistic               p-value

Constant                                15.865         10.980                 1.445                 0.150

Client credibility (x1)             0.037          0.339                 0.110                  0.913

Linguistic delivery style (x2)    0.675          0.327         -2.064                   0.040

Interaction (x1, x2)                   0.036        0.009               4.008                    <0.005

F=55.35 (p<0.0005); Adjusted R2=0.450                                   

The researchers estimated the slope of the likelihoodlinguistic delivery style line at a low level of client credibility (x1=22). Obtain this estimate.

ModifyingAbove y with caret<=>y= __     +   ____   x2. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

The researchers also estimated the slope of the likelihoodlinguistic delivery style line at a high level of client credibility (x1=46). Obtain this estimate.

ModifyingAbove y with caret<=>y=____     + ____       x2 (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Explanation / Answer

y^ =0+1x1+2x2+3x1x2

=15.865 + 0.037 * x1 -0.675 *x2 + 0.036 *x1*x2

when

x1 = 22

y^= 15.865 + 0.037 * 22 -0.675 *x2 + 0.036 *22*x2

= 16.679 +0.117 x2

when x1 = 46

y^ = 15.865 + 0.037 * 46 -0.675 *x2 + 0.036 *46*x2

= 17.567 + 0.981 x2
