question 4

Essay

The complete second-order model $E ( y ) = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 } x _ { 1 } + \beta _ { 2 } x _ { 2 } + \beta _ { 3 } x _ { 1 } x _ { 2 } + \beta _ { 4 } x _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } + \beta _ { 5 } x _ { 2 } ^ { 2 }$ was fit to $n = 25$ data points. The printout is shown below.
ANOVA




a. Write the complete second-order model for the data.
b. Is there sufficient evidence to indicate that at least one of the parameters $\beta _ { 1 } , \beta _ { 2 } , \beta _ { 3 } , \beta _ { 4 }$ , and $\beta _ { 5 }$ is nonzero? Test using $\alpha = .05$ .
c. Test $H _ { 0 } : \beta _ { 3 } = 0$ against $H _ { \mathrm { a } } : \beta _ { 3 } \neq 0$ . Use $\alpha = .01$ .
d. Test $H _ { 0 } : \beta _ { 4 } = 0$ against $H _ { \mathrm { a } } : \beta _ { 4 } \neq 0$ . Use $\alpha = .01$ .
