question 55

Multiple Choice

SCENARIO 14-18
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 mean total Scholastic Aptitude Test score (SAT) at the university or college and whether the TOEFL criterion is at least 90 (Toefl90 = 1 if yes, 0 otherwise.) The dependent variable, Y, is school type (Type = 1 if private and 0 otherwise) . There are 80 universities in the sample. The PHStat output is given below:

-Referring to Scenario 14-18, which of the following is the correct interpretation for the Toefl90 Slope coefficient?

• A)Holding constant the effect of ,the estimated mean value of school type is 0.1928 higher when the school has a TOEFL criterion that is at least 90.
• B)Holding constant the effect of ,the estimated school type increases by 0.1928 when the school has a TOEFL criterion that is at least 90.
• C)Holding constant the effect of ,the estimated natural logarithm of the odds ratio of the school being a private school is 0.1928 higher for a school that has a TOEFL criterion that is at least 90 than one that does not.
• D)Holding constant the effect of ,the estimated probability of the school being a private school is 0.1928 higher for a school that has a TOEFL criterion that is at least 90 than one that does not.
