R help does have guidelines. (See the bottom of any message to R help, including yours.) Here is a relevant extract from them:
"Basic statistics and classroom homework: R-help is not intended for these." Your questions are entirely inappropriate. It would also be courteous if we knew your name and not just an alias. Bill Venables http://www.cmis.csiro.au/bill.venables/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rlover Sent: Monday, 24 November 2008 12:46 PM To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] Is this correct? I have to answer the following question for a homework assignment. A researcher was interested in whether people taking part in sports at university made more money after graduating, taking into account the students' GPA. They sampled 200 alumni from a large university. The variables are: income (income 10 years after graduating), sports (1 if they did sports, 0 if they did not), and GPA (the grade point average at university). Discuss the relationship between taking part in sports, GPA, and income for these data. The R code I used so far is Does sports predict GPA? > lm1<-lm(GPA~sports) > summary(lm1) Does sports predict income? > lm2<-lm(income~sports) > summary(lm2) Does GPA predict income? > lm3<-lm(income~GPA) > summary(lm3) Does sports predict income after accounting for GPA? > lm4<-lm(income~GPA+sports) > summary(lm4) Can someone let me know is the above is correct? I am not sure if to keep all four regressions or only 1 and 4. Also, I need to plot the data on a graph or table. Can anyone suggest how to do this?
