Question
A researcher in the education department wants to determine if the number of hours that business students study per week at a state university varies by quarter. He conducts a survey where business students are asked how much they study per week in each of the three quarters. He defines a dummy variable Fall that equals 1 if the survey was conducted in the fall quarter and 0 otherwise. The dummy variables Winter and Spring are defined similarly. The accompanying table shows a portion of the data for 120 students (Use Table 2)
Estimate the appropriate model. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Find the predicted number of hours that students study per week for fall quarter. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Find the predicted number of hours that students study per week for spring quarter. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Construct the 95% confidence interval for the expected number of hours that students study per week in the fall quarters. (Round your intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places, "t?/2,df" value to 3 decimal places, and final answers to 2 decimal places.)
Construct the 95% confidence interval for the expected number of hours that students study per week in the spring quarters. (Round your intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places, "t?/2,df" value to 3 decimal places, and final answers to 2 decimal places.)
Explanation / Answer
(a-1) Study Hours = 12.72 + 0.14*Fall -0.38*Winter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b-1)Study Hours = 12.72 + 0.14*1 -0.38*0 =12.86
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b-2)Study Hours = 12.72 + 0.14*0 -0.38*1=12.34
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(c-1) (12.10, 13.61)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(c-2) (11.63, 13.04)
