True/False

SCENARIO 15-4 The superintendent of a school district wanted to predict the percentage of students passing a sixth-grade proficiency test.She obtained the data on percentage of students passing the proficiency test (% Passing), daily mean of the percentage of students attending class (% Attendance), mean teacher salary in dollars (Salaries), and instructional spending per pupil in dollars (Spending)of 47 schools in the state. Let Y = % Passing as the dependent variable, Attendance, Salaries and Spending. The coefficient of multiple determination ( )of each of the 3 predictors with all the other remaining predictors are, respectively, 0.0338, 0.4669, and 0.4743. The output from the best-subset regressions is given below: Following is the residual plot for % Attendance: Following is the output of several multiple regression models:
-Referring to Scenario 15-4, the quadratic effect of daily average of the percentage of students attending class on percentage of students passing the proficiency test is not significant at a 5% level of significance.
