    Question

    A master’s thesis student examines the relationship between growing up in a chaotic household (D1D_{1}: 0=not, 1=well) and ADHD symptoms in children (Y). She hypothesized that the strength of this relationship depends on having or not having a risk allele in a dopamine gene (D2D_{2}: 0=not, 1=well). She finds the following estimated regression equation:

    Y=7+3D1+5D2+4D1D2Y'= 7+3D_{1}+5D_{2}+4D_{1}D_{2}.

    Calculate the predicted score on ADHD symptoms if a child did grow up in a chaotic household, but has no risk allele in the dopamine gene.
