    Question

    An ordinal logistic regression is used to examine the relationship between size of debt (X, in thousands of euros) and the extent to which families are open to help from agencies (Y, 0=‘is not open to it’, 1=‘is somewhat open to it’, 2=‘is strongly open to it’). An odds ratio of 0.85 is found, with a 95% confidence interval of 0.65-1.05.

    What is the correct interpretation of the results?


    1. TRUE: There is no significant relationship between size of debt and being open for help.
    2. FALSE: The relationship between size of debt and being open to help is significant and negative.
    3. FALSE: The relationship between size of debt and being open for help is significant and positive.
    4. FALSE: The relationship between size of debt and being open for help is a false positive.
