Document Summary
Midterm - march 19 - multiple choice and short answer. The simultaneous analysis of 3 or more variables. The can be done with a 3 - way cross- tabulation. A method in which the relationships among variables are presented as an equation. Y = b1x1 + b2x2 + b3x3 + e. X1, x2, x3 - different independent variables b1, b2, b3 - different coefficients e - sampling error/error term (what can"t be explained by our independent variables) i. e. y = b1x1 + b2x2 + b3x3 + e. X1 - sex ( 1 = male, 0 = female) X2 - education level (1=ba or more 0=less than ba) Income = 3 x sex x + 6 x education + 2 x age + e. 3, 6, and 2 are givens (from analysis) For a male, 20 years old, with a ba (3 x 1 + 6 x 1 + 2 x 20 + e) = 49 + e.
