Question
A regression model was fitted in R with the following call:lm(y ~ x + I(x^2))Assume that all the modelling assumptions are satisfied. Which of the statements below about this model is FALSE?Group of answer choicesThis model has THREE coefficients that need to be estimated.It would be valid to make a prediction for a value outside the range of observed x.We cannot make a statement about the effect of a 1-unit change of x, on the average value of y.The model fitted contains a quadratic term.
Solution
The false statement is: "It would be valid to make a prediction for a value outside the range of observed x."
Explanation: While the model does indeed have three coefficients to be estimated (intercept, linear term, and quadratic term), and it does contain a quadratic term, making a statement about the effect of a 1-unit change of x on the average value of y is complex due to the presence of the quadratic term. However, it is not generally valid to make a prediction for a value outside the range of observed x. This is because the relationship between x and y may not hold outside the observed range of x, especially given the quadratic term in the model. This practice is known as extrapolation and is typically avoided in regression analysis.
