SCENARIO 13-11
a Weight-Loss Clinic Wants to Use Regression Analysis $$Y = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 } X _ { 1 } + \beta _ { 2 } X _ { 2 } + \beta _ { 3 } X _ { 1 } X _ { 2 } + \varepsilon$$

SCENARIO 13-11
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)
X2 = 1 if morning session, 0 if not
Data for 25 clients on a weight-loss program at the clinic were collected and used to fit the interaction
model: $$Y = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 } X _ { 1 } + \beta _ { 2 } X _ { 2 } + \beta _ { 3 } X _ { 1 } X _ { 2 } + \varepsilon$$ Output from Microsoft Excel follows: $\begin{array}{lr}{\text { Regression Statistics }} \\\hline \text { Multiple R } & 0.7308 \\\text { R Square } & 0.5341 \\\text { Adjusted R Square } & 0.4675 \\\text { Standard Error } & 43.3275 \\\text { Observations } & 25\\\hline\end{array}$
