    Question

    A researcher doubts whether he would not be better off becoming an athlete after all, and if he chooses to do so, what sport would be best for him. To determine this for himself, he drew a sample from all professional athletes in the U.S. and determined what their average annual income was (in 10,000 dollars). In addition, he determined what sport [Football = 1, Basketball = 2, Baseball = 3] someone did, and whether it was a male [Gender = 0] or female [Gender = 1] athlete.

    Perform an appropriate test where you include sports and gender as independent variables and income as the dependent variable. What is the Sum of Squares for the factor with the least significant main effect (3 decimal places)?


    Solution

    The answer is 33,849.
