A Study of the Top MBA Programs Attempted to Predict

question 10

Multiple Choice

A study of the top MBA programs attempted to predict the average starting salary (in $1000's) of graduates of the program based on the amount of tuition (in $1000's) charged by the program and the average GMAT score of the program's students. The results of a regression analysis based on a sample of 75 MBA programs is shown below: $$\begin{array}{l}\text { Least Squares Linear Regression of Salary }\\\begin{array} { l c c c c c } \text { Predictor } & & & & & \\\text { Variables } & \text { Coefficient } & \text { Std Error } & \text { T } & \text { P } \\\text { Constant } & - 687.851 & 165.406 & 4.16 & 0.0001 \\\text { Tuition } & - 11.3197 & 2.19724 & - 5.15 & 0.0000 \\\text { GMAT } & - 0.96727 & 0.25535 & - 3.79 & 0.0003\end{array}\end{array}$$

$\begin{array}{lllll}\text { TxG } & 0.01850 & 0.00331 & 5.58 & 0.0000\end{array}$

• A) There is sufficient evidence, at \(\alpha = 0.05\), to indicate that at least one of the variables proposed in the interaction model is useful at predicting the average starting salary of graduates of MBA programs.
• B) There is insufficient evidence, at \(\alpha = 0.05\), to indicate that at least one of the variables proposed in the interaction model is useful at predicting the average starting salary of graduates of MBA programs.
• C) There is insufficient evidence, at \(\alpha = 0.05\), to indicate that the interaction between average tuition and average GMAT score is a useful predictor of the average starting salary of graduates of MBA programs.
• D) There is sufficient evidence, at \(\alpha = 0.05\), to indicate that the interaction between average tuition and average GMAT score is a useful predictor of the average starting salary of graduates of MBA programs.
