    Question

    An experimental research study evaluating the association between YY = performance, SS = dummy variable Sex (girl=1girl=1) and GG = dummy variable Reward (reward=1reward =1) results in the following regression equation: Y=20+6S4GY’ = 20+6S–4G.

    Hanneke is assigned the reward condition and has a performance of 23. What is her predicted performance and what is her residual YiYiY_{i}-{Y}'_{i}?


    1. FALSE: predicted performance: 22 ; residual: -1
    2. FALSE: predicted performance: 23 ; residual: -2
    3. TRUE: predicted performance: 22 ; residual: +1
    4. FALSE: predicted performance: 23 ; residual: +2
