Multiple Choice

TABLE 14-11
A logistic regression model was estimated in order to predict the probability that a randomly chosen university or college would be a private university using information on average total Scholastic Aptitude Test score (SAT) at the university or college, the room and board expense measured in thousands of dollars (Room/Brd) , and whether the TOEFL criterion is at least 550 (Toefl550 = 1 if yes, 0 otherwise.) The dependent variable, Y, is school type (Type = 1 if private and 0 otherwise) .
The Minitab output is given below:

-Referring to Table 14-11, which of the following is the correct expression for the estimated model?

• A) ln (estimated odds ratio) = - 27.118 + 0.015 SAT - 0.390 Toefl550 + 2.078 Room/Brd
• B) Y = - 27.118 + 0.015 SAT - 0.390 Toefl550 + 2.078 Room/Brd
• C) Y^{^} = - 27.118 + 0.015 SAT - 0.390 Toefl550 + 2.078 Room/Brd
• D) ln (odds ratio) = - 27.118 + 0.015 SAT - 0.390 Toefl550 + 2.078 Room/Brd

Definitions:

Equilibrium Price

The price at which the quantity of a product offered is equal to the quantity of the product demanded, leading to a balance in the market.

Demand Curve

A graphical representation of the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity demanded by consumers at various price levels.

Legal Interest Rates

The maximum rate of interest lenders can charge borrowers, as determined by law.

Rent Controls

Government-imposed laws that limit the amount landlords can charge for renting out their properties, aimed at making housing more affordable for renters.
