Exhibit 17

question 45

Multiple Choice

Exhibit 17.3.Consider the regression model, Humidity = β₀ + β₁Temperature + β₂Spring + β₃Summer + β₄Fall + β₅Rain + ε,
Where the dummy variables Spring,Summer,and Fall represent the qualitative variable Season (spring,summer,fall,winter) ,and the dummy variable Rain is defined as Rain = 1 if rainy day,Rain = 0 otherwise.
Refer to Exhibit 17.3.What is the regression equation for the summer rainy days?

• A) = (b₀ + b₃)+ b₁Temperature
• B) = (b₀ + b₅)+ b₁Temperature
• C) = b₀ + b₁Temperature + b₂Spring + b₄Fall

Definitions:

Subduction Zones

Regions of the Earth's crust where one tectonic plate moves under another, leading to volcanic activity, earthquakes, and the creation of oceanic trenches.

Oceanic Crust

The part of Earth's lithosphere that underlies the ocean basins, comprised primarily of basaltic rock.

Mantle Melting

The process where heat and pressure conditions within the Earth's mantle cause it to partially melt, producing magma.

Subduction Zone

A region of the Earth's crust where one tectonic plate moves under another, often resulting in volcanic activity, earthquakes, and the formation of mountain ranges.
