A student runs a logistic regression in SPSS predicting whether someone buys a meal plan (1 = yes, 0 = no) from two predictors: Income and Housing (1 = on-campus, 0 = off-campus). The Omnibus Tests of Model Coefficients shows χ²(2) = 12.6, p = .002. The Hosmer–Lemeshow test shows χ²(8) = 4.1, p = .85. Which statement is most accurate?

A

The overall model is statistically significant and the Hosmer–Lemeshow result suggests the model fits the data reasonably well.

B

The model is not significant because Hosmer–Lemeshow is non-significant.

C

The model is significant, but the fit is poor because Hosmer–Lemeshow is non-significant.

D

Neither test is useful in logistic regression; you should only look at R².
