GPA .151 .063 .123 2.383 .018

rank -.110 .024 -.222 -4.608 .000

a. Dependent Variable: admit

4. Decision and conclusion: For entrance score, the p-value = .036 < .05, Ho is rejected. For GPA, the p-
value = .018 < .05, Ho is rejected. For Rank, the p-value = .000 < .05 Ho is rejected. Hence, Entrance score,
GPA and Rank are significant factors of admission in Graduate School at 5% level of significance.

How to do:
Analyze – Regression - linear

1. Ho: X1, X2, and X3 are not significant factors of Y

Ha: X1, X2, and X3 are significant factors of Y

a. Variable(s) entered on step 1: entscore, GPA, rank.

4. Decision and conclusion: For X1, the p-value = .036 < .05, Ho is rejected. For X2, the p-value
= .018> .05, Ho is rejected. For X3, the p-value = .000> .05, Ho is rejected. Hence, Entrance Score, GPA
and Rank are significant factors of Admission in Graduate School at 5% level of significance.

The model is given by

exp (−3.450+.002 X 1+ .777 X 2−.560 X 3)

Est Y =
1+ exp(−3.450+ .002 X 1+.777 X 2−.560 X 3)

In terms of Entrance Score, for every unit increase in entrance score there is about .2%
chance of admitting in Graduate School for a given GPA and rank (admission for GPA and rank as
constant).
In terms of GPA, about 2 times more chance of admitting in Graduate School for a given
entrance score and rank (admission for score and rank as constant).
In terms of rank, for every unit increase in rank there is about 57% chance of admitting in
Graduate School for a given entrance score and GPA (admission for entrance score and GPA as
constant).

How to do:
Analyze – Regression – binary logistics
