SOC/CJ In Problem 14.5, crime and population data were presented for each of 10 states. The data are reproduced here.

Take the three crime variables as the dependent variables (one at a time) and do the following.

a. Find the multiple regression equations (unstandardized) with growth and mobility as independent variables.

b. Make a prediction for each crime variable for a state with a 5% growth rate and a 85% rate of mobility.

c. Compute beta-weights for each independent variable in each equation and compare their relative effect on each dependent.

d. Compute R 2 for each crime variable, using the population variables as independent variables.

e. Write a paragraph summarizing your fi ndings.
