Q.1

On the next page are the results of two hierarchical multivariable models fit to the same data.
The smaller model is a simple linear regression model with LWT as the predictor variable.
The larger model is a 4 predictor model that contains LWT plus SMOKE, HT, and UI as
predictor variables. Carry out an appropriate hypothesis test to determine which model should
be reported.

Model 1 N: 189 MULTIPLE R: .186 SQUARED MULTIPLE R: .035 DEP VAR: BWT ADJUSTED SQUARED MULTIPLE R: .029 Variable Coefficient Standard Erroi P (2 tail) CONSTANT LWT 2369.672 4.429 228.431 1.713 10.374 2.586 0.000 0.010 Model 1 Source Regression Sum of Squares 3,448.881.301 DF Mean Square 3.448.881.301 F-Ratio 6.686 010 Residual 964682E+08 187 515872.574

Explanation / Answer

For model 1 p-value of F test is 0.010 That is model is significnat ta 0.01 level of significance. While for model2 p-value of F test is 0.00, means model is significant at any level of significance. And also the dependent variables in model 2 are significant to model so model 2 is more appropriate to report.
