    Question

    The following regression equation for predicting y=y = stress level is given:

    ŷ=\hat{y} = 200 - (Minutes Massage per Day) - 2(Minutes Exercise per Day) + 22(Gender) - 0.5(Gender*Minutes Massage per Day)

    Where the Gender variable is coded as Male = 0 and Female = 1.

    What is the predicted stress level score for a female who gets massages 30 minutes a day and exercises one hour per day?


    1. FALSE: 175
    2. FALSE: 72
    3. TRUE: 57
    4. FALSE: 35

    Solution

    The predicted score equals: ŷ=200302×60+22×10.5×1×30=57\hat{y} = 200 - 30 - 2 \times 60 + 22\times 1 - 0.5 \times 1 \times 30 = 57
