If you wish to develop a multiple regression model that includes a qualitative variable; education status, in which the following categories exist: no degree, high school diploma, junior college degree, bachelor degree, and graduate degree, you need to code the categories as 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Q. 2

Three qualitative variables need to be incorporated into a regression model. The first variable has 5 possible categories, the second one has 3 possible categories, and the third one has 2 possible categories. Based on this information, ten dummy variables need to be included in the regression model.
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Q. 3

In order to incorporate the marital status variable into a multiple regression model, there are four possible categories for this variable: married, single, divorced, or widow. Based on this information, four indictor variables will need to be created (one for each category) and incorporated into the regression model.
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Q. 4

In order to incorporate qualitative variables into a regression model, one or more dummy variables are needed.
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Q. 5

A dummy or indicator variable is a dependent variable whose values are either 0.0 or 1.0.
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Q. 6

Stepwise regression analysis is a procedure that is implemented by computer and is available in most statistical packages. It is mainly used to determine which of a large number of independent variables should be included in the model.
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false
