Question

Some believe that the amount a person spends on vacation (X) depends on how big a raise (Y) the person gets. During January and February of 2016 information was collected from 100 people.

               Coefficient Standard Error   T stat   p-value

Intercept            281.7          142.7     1.97   0.084

raise              0.06808       0.02354     2.89   0.020

Refer to the computer output above.

24. The slope coefficient indicates that for every 1 unit increase in

Dollars spent on vacation (Y), there is a $287.7 raise.

Dollars spent on vacation (Y), there is a 2.34% increase in raise.

Raise (X), there is a .06808 increase in dollars spent on vacation (Y).

Raise (X), there is a 0.02 increase in dollars spent on vacation (Y).

Raise (X), there is a 281.7 increase in dollars spent on vacation (Y).

25. The p-value of 0.02 means

Raise is not a statistically significant predictor, drop it from the regression equation.

Raise is a statistically significant predictor, keep it in the regression equation.

Intercept is a statistically significant predictor, keep it in the regression equation.

Intercept is not a statistically significant predictor, drop it from the regression equation.

None of the above.

26. The scatter plot of brands X and Y below indicates a:

Negative correlation between Brand X and Brand Y.

Positive correlation between Brand X and Brand Y.

Non-zero correlation (extremely week linear relationship) between Brand X and Brand Y.

Curved relationship ( not linear)

exponential

Explanation / Answer

24)

Raise (X), there is a .06808 increase in dollars spent on vacation (Y).

as slope coefficient = .06808

25) If alpha = 0.05

null is rejected

Raise is a statistically significant predictor, keep it in the regression equation.

26)
