question 64

Multiple Choice

Instruction 13.18
One of the most common questions of prospective house buyers pertains to the average cost of heating in dollars (Y) .
To provide its customers with information on that matter, a large real estate firm used the following four variables to predict heating costs: the daily minimum outside temperature in degrees of Celsius (X1) , the amount of insulation in cm (X2) , the number of windows in the house (X3) and the age of the furnace in years (X4) . Given below are the Microsoft Excel outputs of two regression models.

To provide its customers with information on that matter, a large real estate firm used the following four variables to predict heating costs: the daily minimum outside temperature in degrees of Celsius (X<sub>1</sub>) , the amount of insulation in cm (X<sub>2</sub>) , the number of windows in the house (X<sub>3</sub>)  and the age of the furnace in years (X<sub>4</sub>) . Given below are the Microsoft Excel outputs of two regression models.      -Referring to Instruction 13.18 and allowing for a 1% probability of committing a Type I error,what is the decision and conclusion for the test H<sub>0</sub>: β<sub>1</sub> = β<sub>2</sub> = β<sub>3</sub> = β<sub>4</sub> = 0 vs.H<sub>1</sub>: At least one β<sub>j</sub> ≠ 0,j = 1,2,...,4 using Model 1? A)  Reject H<sub>0</sub> and conclude that the four independent variables taken as a group do not have significant linear effects on heating costs. B)  Do not reject H<sub>0</sub> and conclude that the four independent variables have significant individual linear effects on heating costs. C)  Reject H<sub>0</sub> and conclude that the four independent variables taken as a group have significant linear effects on average heating costs. D)  Do not reject H<sub>0</sub> and conclude that the four independent variables taken as a group do not have significant linear effects on heating costs.
