- What is the line of fit for the model where contraceptive use predicts how many children someone intends to have? How much of intention for children is explained by contraceptive use (2pts)?
- How many children does a respondent intend to have if they use contraception for 200 weeks (1pt)?
- Is contraceptive use a “good” predictor of how many children a person intends to have? Explain your answer (2pts).
- Based on the GSS data, what might be another predictor (other than age) for the number of children a respondent intends to have (2pts)?
- Is age a better predictor of intent for children than contraceptive use? Justify your answer using evidence from the regression output (3pts).
- What is the direction of the relationship between age and number of children respondent intends to have? Provide a justification for this relationship (2pts).
