a)Develop an estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the starting salary and bonus paid to graduates given the recruiter assessment score.

b)Develop an estimated regression equation that can be used to predict the starting salary and bonus paid to graduates given both the recruiter assessment score and the out- of- state tuition and fees.

c)Is the estimated regression coefficient for the recruiter score the same in part ( a) and in part ( b)? Interpret the coefficient in each case.

d)For the part (b) model, which, if any, of the independent variables is statistically significant?

e)Suppose that we randomly select a recent graduate of the University of Virginia graduate school of business. This school has a recruiter assessment score of 4.1 and an out- of- state tuition and fees of $ 43,000. Predict the average starting salary and bonus for this graduate and give a 95% confidence interval.

f)For the same values in (d), give a 95% prediction interval.

g)Explain the difference between the 95% confidence interval and prediction interval in parts (e) and (f) above.
