Math Problem Statement

What would be your expected salary with no education and no experience?

Solution

The image shows a regression analysis output where the goal is to relate annual salary to years of education and years of work experience. Here’s the breakdown:

Key Output from the Regression Analysis:

  1. Regression Statistics:

    • Multiple R: 0.7357 (correlation coefficient)
    • R Square: 0.5412 (percentage of variance explained by the model)
    • Adjusted R Square: 0.5213 (adjusted for the number of predictors)
    • Standard Error: 2128.8575
    • Observations: 49 (sample size)
  2. ANOVA Table:

    • The F-statistic is 27.1287 with a significance value of 1.7E-08, indicating that the model is statistically significant.
  3. Coefficients Table:

    • Intercept: 14,265.71682
    • Education (Years): 2,352.8476 (effect of each additional year of education on salary)
    • Experience (Years): 832.0973 (effect of each additional year of experience on salary)
  4. t-Stats and P-values:

    • All variables (intercept, education, experience) are significant since their P-values are less than 0.05.

Step 1 Question:

What would be your expected salary with no education and no experience?

This is calculated using the intercept alone, since both education and experience are zero.

Salary=Intercept+(Education Coefficient×0)+(Experience Coefficient×0)\text{Salary} = \text{Intercept} + (\text{Education Coefficient} \times 0) + (\text{Experience Coefficient} \times 0) Salary=14,265.71682\text{Salary} = 14,265.71682

So, the expected salary with no education and no experience is $14,265.72.

Would you like any details on how these results were obtained, or do you have any specific questions?


Here are 5 related questions to expand on the concept:

  1. How do years of education affect the salary based on this model?
  2. What is the effect of one year of work experience on salary?
  3. How do you interpret the R-squared value in this context?
  4. How would the predicted salary change if a person had 10 years of education but no experience?
  5. Can we consider the model reliable based on the given F-statistic?

Tip: R-squared explains the percentage of variation in the dependent variable (salary) explained by the independent variables (education and experience). The higher it is, the better the model fits the data.
