  • A. Missing values are imputed.
  • B. Parameters are estimated accounting for the missing values.
  • C. Parameter estimates are made on all available data.
  • D. Only cases with variables that are fully populated are used.


Answer : D

A marketing analyst assessed the effect of web page design (A, B, or C) on customers' intent to purchase an expensive product. The focus group was divided randomly into three sub-groups, each of which was asked to view one of the web pages and then give their intent to purchase on a scale from 0 to 100. The analyst also asked the customers to give their income, which was coded as: I (lowest), II (medium), or III (highest). After analyzing the data, the analyst claimed that there was significant interaction and the webpage design mainly influenced high income people.
Which graph supports the analyst's conclusion?
A.


B.

C.

D.



Answer : A

Within PROC GLM, the interaction between the two categorical predictors, Income and Gender, was shown to be significant. An item store was saved from the

Which statement from PROC PLM would test the significance of Gender within each level of Income and adjust for multiple tests?

  • A. sliceby Gender / adjust=tukey;
  • B. slice Income*Gender / sliceby=Gender adjust=tukey;
  • C. slice Income*Gender / sliceby=Income adjust=tukey;
  • D. sliceby Income / adjust=tukey;


Answer : D

Refer to the exhibit.


Which conclusion is justified concerning Sales, comparing stores A, B, and C?

  • A. Store B is significantly different from store A.
  • B. Store C is significantly different from Store A.
  • C. Store B is significantly different from store C.
  • D. There is no significant difference between stores.


Answer : A

The SAS data set RESULT contains the following variables:

PROC GLMSELECT was used for building a model predicting the natural log of a baseball player's salary from certain performance and longevity statistics. The model used backward elimination using SBC as its selection criterion. The sequence of steps is summarized in the graphic shown below:


At Step 9 number of at bats (nAtBat) was removed from the model.
Why was it removed?

  • A. Removing nAtBat had the largest effect on the parameter estimate of nHits.
  • B. The p-Value for nAtBat was largest.
  • C. Removing nAtBat yielded the largest improvement to SBC.
  • D. The p-Value for nAtBat was smallest.


Answer : B

Refer to the exhibit:

  • B. The SBC champion model is more parsimonious than the AIC champion.
  • C. The R-Square champion model is the most parsimonious.
  • D. Adjusted R-Square and R-Square agree on the champion model.
