[16] The unexplained sum of squares measures variation in the dependent variable Y about the:
A) mean of the Y values.
B) estimated Y values.
C) mean of the X values.
D) Y-intercept.
[17] If X2 is a binary predictor in Y = β0 + β1X1 + β2X2, then which statement is most nearly correct?
A) X2 = 1 should represent the most desirable condition.
B) X2 would be a significant predictor if β2 = 423.72.
C) X2 = 0, X2 = 1, X2 = 2 would be appropriate if three categories exist.
D) X2 will shift the estimated equation either by 0 units or by β2 units.
[18] A multiple regression analysis with two independent variables yielded the following results in the ANOVA table: SS(Total) = 798, SS(Regression) = 738, SS(Error) = 60. The multiple correlation coefficient is
