Question

e. Interpret R2 and Ra2.

f. Conduct the global utility test for the model.

g. In a backwards elimination procedure, which variable would be removed first?

Explanation / Answer

e. R2 is 45.9% which means that 45.9% of the variability in dependent variable Y is explained by x1 and x2 together.

Ra2 is 39.6% which means that after controlling for sample size and number of predictors 39.6% of the variability in dependent variable Y is explained by x1 and x2 together.

f. Test statistic for global utility test is F(2, 17)=7.22 with p-value=0.005. As p-value is less than 0.05, we have enough evidence to conlcude that the regression model is signficant in explaning the variations in Y.

g. As x1 is signficant with p-value=0.003<0.05 and x2 is not sigficant with p-value=0.274>0.05, so in a backwards elimination procedure, variable x2 would be removed first
