An admissions counselor, examining the usefulness of x1 5 total SAT score and x2 5 high school class rank in predicting y 5 freshman grade point average (GPA) at her university, has collected the sample data shown here and listed in file XR16055. Rank in high school class is expressed as a cumulative percentile, i.e., 100.0% reflects the top of the class.

a. Determine the multiple regression equation and interpret the partial regression coefficients.
b. What is the estimated freshman GPA for a student who scored 1100 on the SAT exam and had a cumu- lative class rank of 80%?
c. Determine the 95% prediction interval for the GPA of the student described in part (b).
d. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the mean GPA of all students similar to the one described in part (b).
e. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the population partial regression coefficients, /31 and/32.
f. Interpret the significance tests in the computer printout.
g. Analyze the residuals. Does the analysis support the applicability of the multiple regression model to these data?

What are the coordinates of the center of mass of the system
: Three balls A, B, C, with masses of 2.8kg, 1.1kg, and 0.9kg, respectively, are connected by massless rods, as shown below. What are the coordinates of the center of mass of this system?

What is the resultant force from the three forces
: Evelyn pulls with a force of 150N directly east. Sara pulls with a force of 350N directly southeast (135o clockwise from north). What is the resultant force from the three forces.

Inclusion of interaction term improved model
: Repeat part (a), but with an interaction term included. Interpreting the R2 value, to what extent has inclusion of the interaction term improved the model's explanatory power

Relationship between dependent and predictor variables
: Of the models in this section, which one would result in the highest R2 value while at the same time reducing the possibility that the researcher might "miss" an important aspect of the relationship between the dependent and predictor variables?

Interpret the partial regression coefficients
: a. Determine the multiple regression equation and interpret the partial regression coefficients. b. What is the estimated freshman GPA for a student who scored 1100 on the SAT exam and had a cumu- lative class rank of 80%? c. Determine the 95% predic..

Residuals versus each of the independent
: For the regression equation obtained in Exercise 16.19, analyze the residuals by (a) constructing a histogram, (b) utilizing the normal probability plot, and (c) plotting the residuals versus each of the independent
