b) Because the P-value = 0.036 < = 0.05 we can conclude that at least one of the coefficients (of income and age) is
not equal to zero at the 0.05 level of significance. The individual z-tests do not generate P-values less than 0.05, but this
c) The odds ratio is changed by the factor exp(1) = exp(0.0000738) = 1.00007 for every unit increase in income with
age held constant. Similarly, odds ratio is changed by the factor exp(1) = exp(0.987886) = 2.686 for every unit

. From a plot or from the derivative, this is a monotonic increasing function of x.
Therefore, the probability increases as a function of x.
