An economist was interested in modeling the relation among annual income, level of education, and work experience. The following
data was obtained from a random sample of 12 individuals. Level of education is the number of years of education beyond eighth grade, so 1 represents completing 1 year of high school, 8 means completing 4 years of college, and so on. Work experience is the number of years employed in the current profession. Annual income is measured in thousands of dollars.
Work Experience Level of Education Annual Income ($ Thousands)
21 6 34.7
14 3 17.9
4 8 22.7
16 8 63.1
12 4 33.0
20 4 41.4
25 1 20.7
8 3 14.6
24 12 97.3
28 9 72.1
4 11 49.1
15 4 52.0
A) Construct a correlation matrix between work experience, level of education, and annual income. Is there any reason to be concerened with multicollinearity based on the correlation matrix?

1 answer:
Answer:
Check the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
A) We use Minitab to solve the question.
The correlation matrix is,
Correlation: Level of Education, Work Experience, Annual Income ($ ,000s)
Work Experience Level of Education
Level of Education -0.042 0.463
Annual Income ($ 0.463 0.756
From correlation matrix there is no any reason to concern multicoinearity.

Regression Equation
Annual Income ($ Thousands) = -15.2 + 1.545 Work Experience + 5.57 Level of Education
= -15.2 + 1.545 * 12 + 5.57 * 4
= 25.62

Please consider the attached image for complete question.
We have been given that measure of arc WY is 76° and and measure of arc XZ is 112°. We are asked to find the difference of of the measures of angle WPY and angle XPY.
First of all we will find the measure of angle WPY using intersecting secants theorem. Intersecting secants theorem states that measure of angle formed by two intersecting secants inside a circle is half the sum of intercepting arcs.
We can see that angle WPY and angle XPY are linear angles, so they will add up-to 180 degrees.
Now we need to find difference of both angles as:
Therefore, the difference of the measures of angle WPY and angle XPY is 8 degrees.
