Multiple Choice

TABLE 14-12
A weight-loss clinic wants to use regression analysis to build a model for weight-loss of a client (measured in pounds) . Two variables thought to affect weight-loss are client's length of time on the weight loss program and time of session. These variables are described below:
Y = Weight- loss (in pounds)
^X1 ^{= Length of time in weight- loss program (in months)
X}2 ^{= 1 if morning session, 0 if not
X}3 ^{= 1 if afternoon session, 0 if not (Base level = evening session)}
Data for 12 clients on a weight- loss program at the clinic were collected and used to fit the interaction model:
$Y=\beta_{0}+\beta_{1} X_{1}+\beta_{2} X_{2}+\beta_{3} X_{3}+\beta_{4} X_{1} X_{2}+\beta_{5} X_{1} X_{3}+\varepsilon$
