8.21. In a regression analysis of on-the-job head injuries of warehouse laborers caused by falling objects, Y is a measure of severity of the injury, X, is an index reflecting both the weight of the object and the distance it fell, and X and X3 are indicator variables for nature of head protection worn at the time of the accident, coded as follows: Type of Protection X X3 Hard hat 1 0 Bump cap None 0 1 0 0 The response function to be used in the study is EY) = Po + BXi + BX+ B3X3. a. Develop the response function for each type of protection category. b. For each of the following questions, specify the alternatives H, and H, for the appropriate test: (1) With X, fixed, does wearing a bump cap reduce the expected severity of injury as compared with wearing no protection? (2) With X, fixed, is the expected severity of injury the same when wearing a hard hat as when wearing a bump cap? 8.21.
