Personal wealth tends to increase with age as older individuals have had more opportunities to earn and invest than younger individuals. The following data were obtained from a random sample of eight individuals and records their total wealth (Y) and their current age (X). Person Total wealth (‘000s of dollars) Y Age (Years) X A 280 36 B 450 72 C 250 48 D 320 51 E 470 80 F 250 40 G 330 55 H 430 72 A part of the output of a regression analysis of Y against X using Excel is given below: SUMMARY OUTPUT Regression Statistics Multiple R 0.954704 R Square 0.91146 Adjusted R Square 0.896703 Standard Error 28.98954 Observations 8 ANOVA df SS MS F Significance F Regression 1 51907.64 51907.64 Residual 6 5042.361 840.3936 Total 7 56950 Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-value Intercept 45.2159 39.8049 Age 5.3265 0.6777 a.

Answer:

Explanation:

a. State the estimated regression line and interpret the slope coefficient

Total wealth=45.2159+5.3265*age

Here, the slope is 5.3265. It indicates that whenever the age is more by 1 year, the total wealth increases by 5.3265*1000=$5326.5

b.What is the estimated total personal wealth when a person is 50 years old?

When age=50,

Total wealth=45.2159+5.3265*50=45.2159+266.325=311.5409 thousand dollars.

c).What is the value of the coefficient of determination? Interpret it.

The coefficient of determination=0.9115.

This indicates that the model could explain 91.15% of the variation in the data.

d)

.step 1: Null hypothesis: The regression coefficients are zero(absent)

 H01 : Bo = 0 H11 : Bo +0

H02 : B1 = 0 H12 : B1 +0

Step 2: Standardized test statistic:

ti SE(B)

Step 3: Level of significance :a = 0.1

Step 4: Decision rule:

Reject Но if the p-value of the respective t statistic is <0.1. The p-value will be calculated for a t-distribution at n-2=6 df.

Step 5: Calculation of test statistic:

 

ti = 45.2159 39.8049 1.1359, p-value=0.2993

t2 = 5.3265 0.6777 7.8567,p-value=0.0002

step 6:Since the p-value for the intercept >0.1, we do not reject the null hypothesis.

p-value for the slope coefficient is <0.1, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the slope coefficient cannot be regarded as absent. Hence the linear regression is significant.
