Jan 2026 () 9) In a multiple regression model with k independent variables, the overall F-test is 1 point
used to test whether:

All regression coefficients are individually significant

At least one independent variable is statistically significant
The intercept is equal to zero
Residuals are normally distributed

Yes, the answer is correct.

Score: 1
Accepted Answers:
At least one independent variable is statistically significant

10) In a regression model with a dummy variable representing gender (Male = 1, 1 point
Female = 0), the coefficient of the dummy variable represents:

The average value of the dependent variable for males

The difference in mean dependent variable between males and females
The slope of the continuous independent variable
The variance of the dependent variable

Yes, the answer is correct.

Score: 1
Accepted Answers:
The difference in mean dependent variable between males and females
