2) Admin performance The AFL-CIO has undertaken a study of the yearly salaries (in thousands of dollars of 30 administrative assistants. The organizations want to predict salaries from several other variables
The variables considered to be potential predictors of salary are: X1=months of service X2=years of education X3=score of standardized test X4=words per minute(wpmtyping speed X5=ability to take dictation in words per minute
A multiple regression model with all five variables was run on a computer package,result in the following output:
Variable Intercept X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 S=0.430
Coefficient 9.788 0.110 0.0530 0.071 0.004 0.055 R2=0.863
model. a) What is the regression equation? bFrom this model,what is the predicted Salary in thousands of dollars) of a secretary with 1-years120Months of experience9grade education9 years of education,a 50 on the standardized test,60 wpm typing speed,and the ability to take 30 wpm dictation? c A correlation of Age with Salary,finds r=0.682,and the scatterplot shows a moderately strong positive linear associating. However,if X6=Age is added to the multiple regression,the estimated coefficient of Age turns out to be b6=-0.154.Explain some possible causes for this apparent change of direction in the relationship between age and salary.
