Question

R-studio and mutliple regression

The variable percent is coded as the percent of registered voters that voted for Trump. Regress this variable on the following regressors: crime, education, income, an interaction between education and income, percent of registered Republicans (variable reg rep perc), and urbanization (variable Urb). Perform the necessary calculations and plot the effect of income for various levels of education (with a 95% confidence interval). Interpret this effect. Can you reject the null that income has no effect on voting for Trump? Explain.

Below is my R-stuido calculation.

Call:

lm(formula = percent ~ Crime + inc_educ + Income + Educ + reg_rep_perc +

Urb, data = mydata)

F-statistic: 32.04 on 6 and 50 DF, p-value: 1.663e-15

Explanation / Answer

Here

The effect of income is based two explanatory variables which are 'Crime' and 'percent of registered Republicans'

since p value for crime = 0.00942 < 0.05 or 0.01 or 0.1 or 1

p value for reg rep = 2.06e-10 < all significant values

in this case

H0 : income has no effect on voting for Trump

H1 : income has some effect on voting for Trump

Yes we reject the null hypothesis, since p value = 1.663e-15 < all significant values

and we infer that income has some effect on voting for Trump
