CHAPTER 15: MULTIPLE REGRESSION
MODEL BUILDING
1. A real estate builder wishes to determine how house size (House) is influenced by family income
(Income), family size (Size), and education of the head of household (School). House size is
measured in hundreds of square feet, income is measured in thousands of dollars, and education is
in years. The builder randomly selected 50 families and constructed the multiple regression
model. The business literature involving human capital shows that education influences an
individual’s annual income. Combined, these may influence family size. With this in mind, what
should the real estate builder be particularly concerned with when analyzing the multiple
regression model?
a) Randomness of error terms
b) Collinearity
c) Normality of residuals
d) Missing observations
2. A microeconomist wants to determine how corporate sales are influenced by capital and wage
spending by companies. She proceeds to randomly select 26 large corporations and record
information in millions of dollars. A statistical analyst discovers that capital spending by
corporations has a significant inverse relationship with wage spending. What should the
microeconomist who developed this multiple regression model be particularly concerned with?
a) Randomness of error terms
b) Collinearity
c) Normality of residuals
d) Missing observations
3. In multiple regression, the __________ procedure permits variables to enter and leave the model
at different stages of its development.
a) forward selection
b) residual analysis
c) backward elimination
d) stepwise regression

in the model.
d) standard deviation of the slope.
7. The p
C statistic is used
a) to determine if there is a problem of collinearity.
b) if the variances of the error terms are all the same in a regression model.
c) to choose the best model.
d) to determine if there is an irregular component in a time series.

SCENARIO 15-1
A certain type of rare gem serves as a status symbol for many of its owners. In theory, for low prices,
the demand increases and it decreases as the price of the gem increases. However, experts
hypothesize that when the gem is valued at very high prices, the demand increases with price due to
the status owners believe they gain in obtaining the gem. Thus, the model proposed to best explain
the demand for the gem by its price is the quadratic model:
Y=
β
0+
β
1X+
β
2X2+
ε
where Y = demand (in thousands) and X = retail price per carat.
This model was fit to data collected for a sample of 12 rare gems of this type. A portion of the
computer analysis obtained from Microsoft Excel is shown below:

SCENARIO 15-2
In Hawaii, condemnation proceedings are under way to enable private citizens to own the property
that their homes are built on. Until recently, only estates were permitted to own land, and
homeowners leased the land from the estate. In order to comply with the new law, a large Hawaiian

17. As a project for his business statistics class, a student examined the factors that determined
parking meter rates throughout the campus area. Data were collected for the price per hour of
parking, blocks to the quadrangle, and one of the three jurisdictions: on campus, in downtown
and off campus, or outside of downtown and off campus. The population regression model
hypothesized is 011 22 33iiii

where
Y is the meter price
X1 is the number of blocks to the quad
X2 is a dummy variable that takes the value 1 if the meter is located in downtown and off campus
and the value 0 otherwise
X3 is a dummy variable that takes the value 1 if the meter is located outside of downtown and off
campus, and the value 0 otherwise
Suppose that whether the meter is located on campus is an important explanatory factor. Why
should the variable that depicts this attribute not be included in the model?
a) Its inclusion will introduce autocorrelation.
b) Its inclusion will introduce collinearity.
c) Its inclusion will inflate the standard errors of the estimated coefficients.
d) Both (b) and (c).
18. True or False: The Variance Inflationary Factor (VIF) measures the correlation of the X variables
with the Y variable.
19. True or False: Collinearity is present when there is a high degree of correlation between
independent variables.
20. True or False: Collinearity is present when there is a high degree of correlation between the
dependent variable and any of the independent variables.
15-8 Multiple Regression Model Building
21. True or False: A high value of R2 significantly above 0 in multiple regression accompanied by
insignificant t-values on all parameter estimates very often indicates a high correlation between
independent variables in the model.
22. True or False: One of the consequences of collinearity in multiple regression is inflated standard
errors in some or all of the estimated slope coefficients.
23. True or False: One of the consequences of collinearity in multiple regression is biased estimates
on the slope coefficients.
24. True or False: Collinearity is present if the dependent variable is linearly related to one of the
explanatory variables.
25. True or False: Collinearity will result in excessively low standard errors of the parameter
estimates reported in the regression output.
26. True or False: The parameter estimates are biased when collinearity is present in a multiple
regression equation.
Multiple Regression Model Building 15-9
27. True or False: Two simple regression models were used to predict a single dependent variable.
Both models were highly significant, but when the two independent variables were placed in the
same multiple regression model for the dependent variable, R2 did not increase substantially and
the parameter estimates for the model were not significantly different from 0. This is probably an
example of collinearity.
28. True or False: So that we can fit curves as well as lines by regression, we often use mathematical
manipulations for converting one variable into a different form. These manipulations are called
dummy variables.
