Q.1. A multiple regression equation was fit for n = 36 observations using 5 independent variables X1, X2,, X5 gave
SS(Residual) = 900. What is the residual standard deviation (standard error of estimate)?
Q.2. A multiple regression equation was fit for n = 21 observations using 5 independent variables X1, X2,, X5 gave
SS(Total) = 1500 and SS(Residual) = 375.
p.2.a. Calculate the value of the coefficient of determination.
p.2.b. Test the hypothesis that all the slopes are zero. H0: =0

Q.3. Write the multiple regression equations needed to be fit for determining if the linear relationship of Y = response
time as a function of X1 = strength of signal has the same slope for three groups (clearly define all independent
variables).
p.3.a. Complete (Full) Model:
p.3.b. Reduced Model:
Q.4. The ANOVA tables for fitting Y as a linear function of X are shown below. In the first table the “independent
variables” include X1, the continuous variable, X2, X3, and X4 as dummy variables to denote the four groups, and
X12, X13, and X14 representing the crossproducts of X1 and the dummy variables. The second table is the ANOVA
table for fitting Y as a linear function of X1, X2, X3, and X4.

Q.5. The medical records for a sample of patients in a local retirement center were analyzed to determine if there was
a relationship between an individual’s blood pressure and the probability of the individual having problems with
his/her circulation system. Fitting a logistic regression equation using X = blood pressure and Y = 1 if the individual
had problems with his/her circulation system gave as estimates

Q.7. A logistic regression model is fit, relating whether a soldier died during the civil war (Y=1 if he died, 0 if
not) to two independent variables: rank (X1=1 if private, 0 if of higher rank) and duty (X2=1 if infantry, 0 if not).
