i need fixt it For question 2a, check the “id” variable to be sure you have the correct cases numbers that need to be removed. There are three cases that should be removed that you did not list. Also, 18 and 1129 will automatically be removed since there is missing data for these cases (no MAH_1 value). Some of your values are different than what I have. Be sure you run the multiple regression with the profile-b data set and only with cases that are MAH_1 ≤ 22.458. For question 2h, you should not include the values for the variables that are not statistically significant. The regression equation should only include those variables that are statistically significant. For 2i, also mention that these two variables are not statistically significant and provide the p (sig) value.

1. The following output was generated from conducting a forward multiple
regression to identify which IVs (urban, birthrat, lnphone, and lnradio) predict
lngdp. The data analyzed were from the SPSS country-a.sav data file.
a. Evaluate the tolerance statistics. Is multicollinearity a problem?
In order to evaluate the presence of multicollinearity, we can exploit the tolerance
statistics, calculated as 1-R2. A small tolerance is an indication of the fact that the
variable considered is almost a perfect linear combination of the other independent
variables already in the equation. Usually, a value of 0.1 serves as the cutoff point.
Looking at the table, we can see assess that multicollinearity is not a problem because all
tolerance statistics are greater than .1 for all the independent variable in both
specifications.
b. What variables create the model to predict lngdp? What statistics support your
response?
The model summary output indicates that the variables used for the forward multiple
regression are are respectively lnphone (for the simple regression) and lnphone +
birthrate (for the multiple regression).
If we look at the p-values, we can see that both of the coefficients are statistically
significant in explaining the variation of lngdp. However, that of birthrat is significant at
a 5% significance level, differently from that of lnphone which is significant at 1%
significance level. Moreover, despite its significance, the coefficient of birthrat is rather
small in magnitude and the R^2 change between the regression including only lnphone
and the following one with the added birthrate is only 0.004. This is a suggestion of the
fact that the explicative power of birthrat is not much high.
c. Is the model significant in predicting lngdp? Explain.
Regression results indicate an overall model of two predictors (lnphone and birthrat) that
significantly predicts lngdp.
The R squared = .890, the Adjusted R squared = .888
d. What percentage of variance in lngdp is explained by the model?
The model accounted for 89% of the variance in lndgp, as it can be retrieved from the
R^2.
e. Write the regression equation for lngdp.
lngdp = 6.878 + .663*(lnphone) – .013*(birthrat)
2. This question utilizes the data sets profile-a.sav and profile-b.sav,
You are interested in examining whether the variables shown here in brackets
[years of age (age), hours worked per week (hrs 1), years of education (educ), years
of education for mother (maeduc), and years of education for father (paeduc)] are
predictors of individual income (rincmdol). Complete the following steps to conduct
this analysis.
a. Using profile-a.sav, conduct a preliminary regression to calculate Mahalanobis
distance. Identify the critical value for chi-square. Conduct Explore to identify outliers.
Which cases should be removed from further analysis?
In order to calculate Mahalanobis distance, I conducted a preliminary regressio

Based on this, we can conclude that the skewness is substantial and the distribution is non-normal. The kurtosis values are in line with that, 7.910/.188 = 42.074 shows there is no significance. Using a chi-squared table, critical value 22.458 was found, therefore, cases 406, 508, 18, 1129, and 351 exceeded that value so should be eliminated. The box plots is not normal and there are outliers at the highest end of the distribution. The critical value for chi-square is 22.458. Any cases with mahlabnobis>22.458 should
be eliminated from the regression analysis. Therefore, cases 406, 508, 18, 1129, and 351
were eliminated following this reasoning.
For all subsequent analyses, use profile-b.sav. Make sure that only cases where
MAH_1<22.458 are selected. b. Create a scatterplot matrix. Can you assume linearity and normality? The scatterplot matrix with the transformed variables displays elliptical shapes, suggesting that the variables are linear normally distributed.

The null hypothesis of this test is that the variables are normally distributed. From the results, we can reject the null hypothesis for all the variables, concluding that none of them is normally distributed. From the plot we can see that the residuals of the regression do not cluster on a horizontal line; in fact, there is an even distribution above and below the reference. From this, it seems that there is a moderate violation of linearity and homoscedasticity, which however should not invalidate the analysis. d. Conduct multiple regression using the Enter method. Evaluate the tolerance statistics. Is multicollinearity a problem? Multicollinearity is not a problem because all tolerance statistics is greater than .1. Descriptive Statistics Std.

Which variables significantly predict rincmdol? Which variable is the best predictor of the DV? The variables of age (B=.110, Beta=.252, t=7.485, p<.001), edu (B=.531, Beta=.271, t=7.818, p<.001), and hrs1(B=.169, Beta=.469, t=14.741, p<.001) significantly predict the DV.

Bivariate and partial correlation coefficients of these two variables with the DV are very low.
