Regression equation: Per Capita Personal Consumption (US$)=-9521.539+66.216xGasoline Consumption (litres per person) [5 marks] Except for Gasoline Consumption (p=0.000), the other independent variables are excluded as p>0.05. The r2 is 0.86 meaning 86% of the variation of the Per Capita Personal Consumption (US$) can be explained by Gasoline Consumption. The p-value of the overall model is 0.000<0.05 indicating that this model is statistically significant. This model is good/strong with good predictive value.

At first, all the main effects (Education Level & Field of Employment) and the interaction are significant with p<0.05 (p=0.000 for Education level & Employment field and p=0.002 for interaction). As the interaction is significant, it is more appropriate to look into the pairwise comparison in different levels of the simple main effect. [5 marks]

Based on estimated marginal means

*. The mean difference is significant at the .05 level.

b. Adjustment for multiple comparisons: Least Significant Difference (equivalent to no adjustments).

The above pairwise comparison for different fields of employment, there are significant differences between all of the different pairs of Education Level. Within Educational Services, High School has the lowest annual income (mean=22.3), then Bachelor has the second-lowest income (mean=33), then Master is next (mean=47.7) and PhD has the highest annual income (mean=77). Within Financial Services, High School has the lowest annual income (mean=25.7), then Bachelor has the second-lowest income (mean=46), then Master is next (mean=54.7) and PhD has the highest annual income (mean=92.3). Within Medical Services, High School has the lowest annual income (mean=25), then Bachelor has the second-lowest income (mean=43.3), then Master is next (mean=59.3) and PhD has the highest annual income (mean=98.3). All these are pointing out that the higher the educational level, the annual income would be higher in these three employment fields (Educational Services, Final Services & Medical Services) [5 marks]

Based on estimated marginal means

*. The mean difference is significant at the .05 level.

b. Adjustment for multiple comparisons: Least Significant Difference (equivalent to no adjustments).

In the pairwise comparisons above, within High School, all three fields of employment are not significant (p>0.05). For both Bachelor’s and

Master’s levels, Educational Services is significantly different from both Financial Services and Medical Services while the difference between

Financial Services & Medical Services is not significant. At the PhD level, there are significant differences between each pair of the three fields

of employment. Within the High School level, the annual income has no significant differences between each pair of the three employment fields (Educational

Services, Final Services & Medical Services). It seems that High School level qualification does not impact the annual income in these three

professions.

Within the Bachelor level, the annual income in Educational Services (mean=33) is significantly lower than those of Financial Services

(mean=46) and Medical Services (mean=43.3). No significant difference between Financial Services & Medical Services.

At the Master level, the situation is the same with Educational Services (mean=47.7) is significantly lower than those of Financial Services

(mean=54.7) and Medical Services (mean=59.3). It seems that in these two educational levels (Bachelor & Master), the Educational Services

has lower annual income than the other two Employment fields (Financial & Medical Services).

Within the PhD level, all of the annual incomes are significantly different between all pairs of Employment fields with Educational Services

being the lowest (mean=77), Financial Services being second (mean=92.3) and Medical Services having the highest annual income

(mean=89.2). These have indicated that at the PhD level, the different Employment fields are different from each other.

It seems that the Financial Services and Medical Services do require a higher level of professionalism especially at a higher educational level,

they are being rewarded by higher annual income.

The interaction is not statistically significant (p>0.05) but both the GPA and major are significant (p=0.021 and 0.004 respectively). Post Hoc test using HST & Scheffe is appropriate to aid interpretation. See below. [5 marks]

For GPA, it is noted that there is a significant difference (p<0.05) between High GPA (mean=62.7) and Low GPA (mean=52.4) in starting salary

but not between High GPA (mean=62.7) and Medium GPA (mean=56.7) and between Low GPA (mean=52.4) and Medium GPA (mean=56.7). Looking at the sample means, it is clear that the higher the GPA, the higher the starting salary. [5 marks]

Again, there is a significant difference in starting salary between Business major (mean=61.3) and Art major (mean=50) and also for

Engineering major (mean=60.4) and art major (mean=50). The difference in starting salary between a Business major & an engineering major is not significant. Therefore there is evidence to support that a practical major is having a higher starting salary. [5 marks]
