1. Novo Nordisk A/S, a Danish firm, sells insulin and other drugs worldwide. Activella, an estrogen and progestin hormone replacement therapy sold by Novo-Nordisk, is examined using 33 quarters of data
Y = -204+.34X1-.17X2
(17.0) (-1.71)
Where Y is quarterly sales of Activella, X1 is the Novo's advertising of the hormone therapy, and X2 is the advertising of a similar product by Eli Lilly and Company, Novo-Nordisk's chief competitor. The parentheses contain t-values. Addition information is: Durbin-Watson = 1.9 and R2= .89. According to t distribution table , t .05,31=1,6955
Using the data for Novo-Nordisk, which is correct?
A. Both X1 and X2 are statistically significant.
B. Neither X1 nor X2 are statistically significant.
C. X1 is statistically significant but X2 is not statistically significant.
D. X1 is not statistically significant but X2 is statistically significant.
E. The Durbin-Watson statistic shows significant problems with autocorrelation.
2. Which is NOT true about the coefficient of determination?
A. As you add more variables, the R-square generally rises.
B. As you add more variables, the adjusted R-square can fall.
C. If the R-square is above 50%, the regression is considered significant.
D. The R-square gives the per cent of the variation in the dependant variable that is explained by the independent variables.
E. The higher is the R-square, the better is the fit.
