If When Using the Model $E ( y ) = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 } x _ { 1 } + \beta _ { 2 } x _ { 2 } + \beta _ { 3 } x _ { 1 } x _ { 2 }$

question 60

True/False

If when using the model $E ( y ) = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 } x _ { 1 } + \beta _ { 2 } x _ { 2 } + \beta _ { 3 } x _ { 1 } x _ { 2 }$ we determine that interaction between $x _ { 1 }$ and $x _ { 2 }$ is not significant, we can drop the $x _ { 1 } x _ { 2 }$ term from the model and use the simpler model $E ( y ) = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 } x _ { 1 } + \beta _ { 2 } x _ { 2 }$
