According to the nutrition research, recommendation on the consumption of fiber for children and teenagers is the following (y is the amount of fiber per day (in grams), x is the age): y 18 21 23 26 29 34 36 39 40 x 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 (a) Test for the significance of regression using the analysis of variance with a = 0.05. Can you conclude that the model specifies a useful linear relationship between these two variables? We conclude that the model specifies a useful linear relationship at a = 0.05. (b) Estimate o?. Round your answer to three decimal places (e.g. 98.765). (c) Estimate the standard error of the slope and intercept in this model. Round your answers to three decimal places (e.g. 98.765). se Bi): se(ho =

A researcher plans to study the causal effect of police on crime using data from a random sample of U.K. counties. He plans to regress the county’s crime rate on the (per capita) size of the county’s police force. Explain why this regression is likely to suffer from omitted variable bias. Which variable would you add to the regression to controlfor important omitted variable? Determine whether the regression will likely over or underestimate the effect of police on the crime rate?

Zagat restaurant guides publish ratings of restaurants for many large cities around the world. The restaurants are rated on a 0 to 30 point scale based on quality of food, decor, service, and cost. Suppose that someone wants to predict the cost of dinner at a restaurant in a city based on the Zagat food quality ratings. If 10 restaurants in a city are sampled and the regression output is given below, what can we conclude about the slope of food quality? Since we are not given the dataset, we do not have enough information to determine if the slope differs from 0.   2)  The slope is 2.521 and therefore differs from 0.   3)  The slope significantly differs from 0.   4)  Not enough evidence was found to conclude the slope differs significantly from 0.   5)  The slope is equal to 0.

The following table shows the starting salary and profile of a sample of 10 2 p employees in a certain call center agency. Run a multiple regression analysis with starting salary as the dependent variable (pesos) and GPA, years of experience and civil service ratings as the independent variables. Use .05 level of significance.What is the computed R square of the resulting multiple linear regression and its interpretation? * Civil Years of Starting salary GPA service experience ratings 79.5 15000 80.1 15000 81.2 78.0 15500 81.3 79.0 16000 82.4 80.0 16200 83.4 85.0 17500 87.9 89.9 89.1 18000 90.3 16,300 84.2 17000 87.0 17900 88.1 84.1 89.0 89.2 R squared = 0.8053; This means that 80.53% of the total variation in the starting salary can be explained by its linear relationship with GPA, years of experience and civil service ratings. R squared = 0.9651; This means that 96.51% of the total variation in the starting salary can be explained by its linear relationship with GPA, years of…
