E(y)=2+x1-3x2-x1x2

a. Identify and interpret the slope forx2.

b. Plot the linear relationship between E(y) andx2forx1=0,1,2, where.

c. How would you interpret the estimated slopes?

d. Use the lines you plotted in part b to determine the changes in E(y) for each x1=0,1,2.

e. Use your graph from part b to determine how much E(y) changes when3x15and1x23.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The slope of x2from the equation can be seen is -3. A negative value indicates that x2has an inverse relation with y and a higher value denotes that its of high magnitude.

b. Graph

c. For every change in the value of x1out slope of the line changes and the line becomes steeper.

d. For the given value of x2between 1x23, the changes in the value of x1 makes the slope of the line becomes steeper as the slope parameter increases from 3 to 4 to 5 for the values of x1as 0, 1, and 2.

e. E(y) changes by 1 to 17 to units when the value of x2is 1x23and x1is 3x15.

Interpretation of graph 

As it can be seen in the graph, for the value ofx1=0,1,2, E(y) passes through (1, -1)x2 whenis1x23 . And for every change in the value ofx1out slope of the line changes and the line becomes steeper.

04

Explanation of the slope

For the given value of x2between 1x23, the changes in the value of x1makes the slope of the line becomes steeper as the slope parameter increases from 3 to 4 to 5 for the values of x1as 0, 1, and 2.

05

Changes in E(y)

E(y) changes by 1 to 17 to units when the value of x2is 1x23and x1is 3x15

Given, E(y)=2+x1-3x2-x1x2forx1=3 andx2=1

y=2+(3)-3(1)-3(1)forx1=0

Question: There are six independent variables, x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, and x6, that might be useful in predicting a response y. A total of n = 50 observations is available, and it is decided to employ stepwise regression to help in selecting the independent variables that appear to be useful. The software fits all possible one-variable models of the form

E(Y)=0+1xi

where xi is the ith independent variable, i = 1, 2, 鈥, 6. The information in the table is provided from the computer printout.

a. Which independent variable is declared the best one variable predictor of y? Explain.

b. Would this variable be included in the model at this stage? Explain.

c. Describe the next phase that a stepwise procedure would execute.

Question: Failure times of silicon wafer microchips. Researchers at National Semiconductor experimented with tin-lead solder bumps used to manufacture silicon wafer integrated circuit chips (International Wafer-Level Packaging Conference, November 3鈥4, 2005). The failure times of the microchips (in hours) were determined at different solder temperatures (degrees Celsius). The data for one experiment are given in the table. The researchers want to predict failure time (y) based on solder temperature (x).

  1. Construct a scatterplot for the data. What type of relationship, linear or curvilinear, appears to exist between failure time and solder temperature?
  2. Fit the model,E(y)=0+1x+2x2, to the data. Give the least-squares prediction equation.
  3. Conduct a test to determine if there is upward curvature in the relationship between failure time and solder temperature. (use.=0.05)

Commercial refrigeration systems. The role of maintenance in energy saving in commercial refrigeration was the topic of an article in the Journal of Quality in Maintenance Engineering (Vol. 18, 2012). The authors provided the following illustration of data relating the efficiency (relative performance) of a refrigeration system to the fraction of total charges for cooling the system required for optimal performance. Based on the data shown in the graph (next page), hypothesize an appropriate model for relative performance (y) as a function of fraction of charge (x). What is the hypothesized sign (positive or negative) of the 2parameter in the model?

State casket sales restrictions. Some states permit only licensed firms to sell funeral goods (e.g., caskets, urns) to the consumer, while other states have no restrictions. States with casket sales restrictions are being challenged in court to lift these monopolistic restrictions. A paper in the Journal of Law and Economics (February 2008) used multiple regression to investigate the impact of lifting casket sales restrictions on the cost of a funeral. Data collected for a sample of 1,437 funerals were used to fit the model. A simpler version of the model estimated by the researchers is E(y)=0+1x1+2x2+3x1x2, where y is the price (in dollars) of a direct burial, x1 = {1 if funeral home is in a restricted state, 0 if not}, and x2 = {1 if price includes a basic wooden casket, 0 if no casket}. The estimated equation (with standard errors in parentheses) is:

y^=1432 + 793x1- 252x2+ 261x1x2, R2= 0.78

(70) (134) (109)

  1. Calculate the predicted price of a direct burial with a basic wooden casket at a funeral home in a restricted state.

  2. The data include a direct burial funeral with a basic wooden casket at a funeral home in a restricted state that costs \(2,200. Assuming the standard deviation of the model is \)50, is this data value an outlier?

  3. The data also include a direct burial funeral with a basic wooden casket at a funeral home in a restricted state that costs \(2,500. Again, assume that the standard deviation of the model is \)50. Is this data value an outlier?

Question: Manipulating rates of return with stock splits. Some firms have been accused of using stock splits to manipulate their stock prices before being acquired by another firm. An article in Financial Management (Winter 2008) investigated the impact of stock splits on long-run stock performance for acquiring firms. A simplified version of the model fit by the researchers follows:

E(y)=0+1x1+2x2+3x1x2

where

y = Firm鈥檚 3-year buy-and-hold return rate (%)

x1 = {1 if stock split prior to acquisition, 0 if not}

x2 = {1 if firm鈥檚 discretionary accrual is high, 0 if discretionary accrual is low}

a. In terms of the 尾鈥檚 in the model, what is the mean buy and- hold return rate (BAR) for a firm with no stock split and a high discretionary accrual (DA)?

b. In terms of the 尾鈥檚 in the model, what is the mean BAR for a firm with no stock split and a low DA?

c. For firms with no stock split, find the difference between the mean BAR for firms with high and low DA. (Hint: Use your answers to parts a and b.)

d. Repeat part c for firms with a stock split.

e. Note that the differences, parts c and d, are not the same. Explain why this illustrates the notion of interaction between x1 and x2.

f. A test for H0: 尾3 = 0 yielded a p-value of 0.027. Using 伪 = .05, interpret this result.

g. The researchers reported that the estimated values of both 尾2 and 尾3 are negative. Consequently, they conclude that 鈥渉igh-DA acquirers perform worse compared with low-DA acquirers. Moreover, the underperformance is even greater if high-DA acquirers have a stock split before acquisition.鈥 Do you agree?
