1			When the null hypothesis, H0: β1 = β 2 = β 3 = 0, is rejected, the interpretation should be:
			A)	there is no linear relationship between y and any of the three independent variables
			B)	there is a regression relationship between y and at least one of the three independent variables
			C)	all three independent variables have a slope of zero
			D)	all three independent variables have equal slopes
			E)	there is a regression relationship between y and all three independent variables
2			Suppose that in a multiple regression the F is significant, but none of the t-ratios are significant. This means that:
			A)	multicollinearity may be present
			B)	autocorrelation may be present
			C)	the regression is good
			D)	a nonlinear model would be a better fit
			E)	none of the above
3			What is the difference between R2 and the adjusted R2?
			A)	the adjusted R2 always increases as more independent variables are added to the model
			B)	the adjusted R2 is smaller in this case because the constant term is negative
			C)	the adjusted R2 adjusts explanatory power by the degrees of freedom
			D)	the adjusted R2 is always smaller than R2
			E)	the adjusted R2 adjusts explanatory power by division by the standard error of each coefficient

Use the following to answer questions 4-6:

Eight students are selected randomly and their present graduate GPA is compared to their undergraduate GPA and scores on standardized tests.

The data are shown below:

10			A multiple regression model with two independent variables exhibits a highly significant F-ratio, but each variable's individual t-statistic is insignificant. The most likely cause of such a situation is ____________
			A)	Heteroskedasticity
			B)	Homoskedasticity
			C)	Multicollinearity
			D)	Non-independence of residuals

11			In a regression analysis involving a lagged predictor variable, the two-tailed critical lower and upper values for the Durbin-Watson test statistic are, respectively, 1.50 and 1.70. The observed Durbin-Watson test statistic is 1.32. Based on this evidence we would infer _______________.
			A)	Negative autocorrelation
			B)	Positive autocorrelation
			C)	Nothing; the test is inconclusive
			D)	Heteroscedasticity
			E)	Multicollinearity
12			In a multiple regression study with 60 observations, an analyst is considering whether or not to include a fourth predictor variable. The SSE of the model when the fourth variable is included is 28,422. The SSE of the model when the fourth variable is not included is 30,224. Based on the partial F-statistic of ___________ we would conclude that the additional variable ____________ the model.
			A)	4.71; does not significantly improve
			B)	5.35; significantly improves
			C)	1.74; does not significantly improve
			D)	2.38; does not significantly improve
