Consider the following two a.m. peak work trip generation models, estimated by household linear regression:
T = 0.62 + 3.1 X1 + 1.4 X2 R2= 0.590
(2.3) (7.1) (5.9)
T = 0.01 + 2.4 X1 + 1.2 Z1 + 4.0 Z2 R2= 0.598
(0.8) (4.2) (1.7) (3.1)
X1 = number of workers in the household
X2 = number of cars in the household,
Z1 is a dummy variable which takes the value 1 if the household has one car,
Z2 is a dummy variable which takes the value 1 if the household has two or more cars.
Compare the two models and choose the best. If a zone has 1000 households, of which 50% have no car, 35% have one car, and the rest have exactly two cars, estimate the total number of trips generated by this zone. Use the preferred trip generation model and assume that each household has an average of two workers

- Consider the following population linear regression model of individual food expenditure: Y = 50 + 0.5X + u, where Y is weekly food expenditure in dollars, X is the individual’s age, and 50+0.5X is the population regression line. Suppose we generate artificial data for 3 individuals using this model. This artificial sample, which consists of 3 observations, is shown in the following table: Answer the following questions. Show your working. (a) What are the values of V1 and V4? (b) Suppose we know that in this artificial sample, the sample covariance between X and Y is 150, and the sample variance of X is 100. Compute the OLS regression line of the regression of Y on X. (Hint: Assume these summary statistics and the OLS regression line continue to hold in parts (c)-(e).) (c) What are the values of V5 and V7?arrow_forwardConsider the following estimated regression model relating annual salary to years of education and work experience.

- The City of Bellmore’s police chief believes that maintenance costs on high-mileage police vehicles are much higher than those costs for low-mileage vehicles. If high-mileage vehicles are costing too much, it may be more economical to purchase more vehicles. An analyst in the department regresses yearly maintenance costs (Y) for a sample of 200 police vehicles on each vehicle’s total mileage for the year (X). The regression equation finds: Y = $50 + .030X with a r2 of .90 What is the IV? What is the DV? If the mileage increases by one mile, what is the predicted increase in maintenance costs? If a vehicle’s mileage for the year is 50,000, what is its predicted maintenance costs? What does an r2 of .90 tell us? Is this a strong or weak correlation? How can you tell?arrow_forwardConsider the following OLS regression results, In(inc)=1.970+.083educ, R²=.186, where inc represents annual income (in $1000s) and educ represents years of education. The slope estimate on years of education can be interpreted as an additional year of education is associated with an .083% increase in income. an additional year of education is associated with an 8.3% increase in income. a 1% increase in education is associated with an increase in income of $83. a 1% increase in education is associated with an increase in income of $8,300.arrow_forward
