    Question

    Given is the following approximate regression equation: ŷ=25+0.8x1−3.5x2+1.2x1x2\hat{y} = 25+0.8x_{1}-3.5x_{2}+1.2x_{1}x_{2}.

    What does the regression equation look like for x1=10x_{1} = 10?


    1. TRUE: ŷ=33+8.5x2\hat{y} = 33+8.5x_{2}
    2. FALSE: ŷ=45−3.5x2\hat{y} = 45-3.5x_{2}
    3. FALSE: ŷ=25+20x1−3.5x2\hat{y} = 25+20x_{1}-3.5x_{2}
    4. FALSE: ŷ=25.8−2.3x2\hat{y} = 25.8-2.3x_{2}

    Solution

    Enter x1=10x_{1} = 10 in the regression equation and work out: ŷ=25+0.8×10−3.5x2+1.2×10×x2=25+8−3.5x2+12×x2=33+8.5×x2\hat{y} = 25+0.8 \times 10-3.5x_{2}+1.2 \times 10 \times x_{2} = 25+8-3.5x_{2}+12 \times x_{2} = 33+8.5 \times x_{2}.
