Question: Consider the Redwood data set. We want to predict the Height (in inches) of redwood trees using Diameter (in inches) and Bark Thickness (in inches)
Consider the Redwood data set. We want to predict the Height (in inches) of redwood trees using Diameter (in inches) and Bark Thickness (in inches) as predictors.
(a)Using Google Sheets XL-Miner run and state the multiple regression equation.
(b)Interpret the meaning of the slopes in this equation.
(c)Predict the mean height for a tree that has a breast diameter of 25 inches and a bark thickness of 2 inches.
(d)Use the overall F-test to test whether there is a significant relationship between the Height of a tree and the two independent predictor variables. =0.05
(e)At the 0.05 level of significance, determine whether each independent variable makes a significant contribution to the regression model. Indicate the independent variables to keep in this model.
(f)Report and interpret R Square (Coefficient of Multiple Determination).
(g)Report and interpret Adjusted R Square.
