(SPPSprobSetQ3) NOte: Answers for questions A-D, F,G,H,J,K are numerical values so computing is neccesary. Note: For question E, answer options are significant or non significant.
(SPPSprobSetQ3) NOte: Answers for questions A-D, F,G,H,J,K are numerical values so computing is neccesary.
Note: For question E, answer options are "significant" or "non significant". For Question I, answer options are : the mothers weight gain during pregnancy (b=5.684) or the mothers pregnancy weight b=-0.8902), or the mothers pregnancy weight (b=-32.2993) or the mothers age (b=-32.2993).

Using the information in the table just given, fill in the blanks with the appropriate words or phrases that correctly describe the results of your study. Assume that you have nondirectional null hypotheses and are using a significance level of 0.05. Multiple regression was used to determine whether low-birth-weight babies' birth weights could be predicted from their mothers' ages, prepregnancy weights, and weight gain over the course of the pregnancy. The overall regression was [F(3, 45) = - and R3 =_ If I. only. I was a significant predictor of birth weight (t = _ K . Suppose that the coefficients of all of the predictor variables you included in the regression model were significantly different from zero (that is, all three are significant). Which of the following comparisons might best help you think about which variable is the most important predictor? L O Comparing the magnitudes of the B values (the unstandardized coefficients) Comparing the significance levels of the coefficients O Comparing the magnitudes of the standard errors of the coefficients O Comparing the magnitudes of the beta values (the standardized coefficients)A study conducted at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Massachusetts, identified factors that affect the risk of giving birth to a low-birth-weight baby. Low birth weight is defined as weighing fewer than 2,500 grams (5 pounds, 8 ounces) at birth. Low-birth-weight babies have increased risk of health problems, disability, and death. [Source: Hosmer, D., & Lemeshow, S. (2000). Applied logistic regression (2nd ed.). Hoboken, NJ: Wiley.] Suppose that you conduct a similar study focusing on the age, prepregnancy weight, and weight gain of the mothers as predictors of their babies" birth weight among 50 low-birth-weight babies. You use a statistical software package to run a multiple regression predicting birth weight in grams BIRTHWT) from the mother's age in years (AGE), the mother's prepregnancy weight in pounds (MOMWT), and the mother's weight gain in pounds (GAIN).
