Please refer to the attached regression output. Here we are using years of experience, college GPA, and company entrance score to predict employee salaries at a local firm.

2. We would conclude that the overall model (using all three explanatory variables) is statistically significant at the .05 level. (3)

a. true b. false

c. We should perform partial t-tests. (True / False) (2) d. Which of the variables are significant predictors? (4)

3. The most useful predictor in the presence of the other explanatory variables is __________. (2)

4. Multicollinearity is (3)

1. severe.
2. mild.
3. nonexistent.

5. Which of the following combinations would be expected to yield the highest pay? Values are years, GPA, and score. (3)
