Consider the linear regression model: log(wage)-DB1+B2 MATH+B3 ARABIC +e where wage is the hourly wage and MATH is you score in Math courses and ARABIC is your score in Arabic courses. You would like to test the hypothesis that MATH and ARABIC have the same effect on log(wage) against the alternative that MATH has a greater weight on log(wage) a. Formally state the null and the alternative hypotheses

Where we observe multicollinearity in a multiple regression analysis, two of our independent variables, x-1 and x-4, are so highly correlated they’re almost indistinguishable with respect to their relationship with our dependent (y) variable. Why is that a problem?
Which of the following is/are true for logistic regression model? I. The independent variable must be continuous. II. The dependent variable can only have 2 levels/categories. I only II only…

A popular board game manufacturer was interested in the relationship between the amount of time it takes to play a game and how well that game is rated among board game players. Information was collected on several board games and was used to obtain the regression equation ŷ = 27.273x + 18.182 where x represents the time it takes to play (in hours) and ŷ is the predicted rating of that game (in points). What is the predicted rating of a game that takes 1 hour to play? –0.63 points 9.091 points 45.455 points 1,654.562 points
Consider the simple linear regression model Wage = Bo + B1*Age + U. The error term U can capture the followings, with the exception of O A. possible measurement error in Wage. O B. the temperature in London Ontario tomorrow. O C. possible model misspecification, such as the nonlinear effect of Age on Wage. O D. other variables that affect the dependent variable, such as previous work experience.
A company studying the productivity of its employees on a new information system was interested in determingg if the age (X) of data entry opeertors influenced the number of completed entries made per hour (Y). The regression equation is y = 14.374 - 0.145x Suppose the acyual completed entries per hour for an operator who is 35 years old was 8. The residual is:
The following model is a simplified version of the multiple regression model used by Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) to study the tradeoff between time spent sleeping and working and to look at other factors affecting sleep: sleep = Bo + Bitotwrk + Bzeduc + Bzage + u, where sleep and totwrk (total work) are measured in minutes per week and educ and age are measured in years. (See also Computer Exercise C3 in Chapter 2.) (i) If adults trade off sleep for work, what is the sign of B,? (ii) What signs do you think B2 and Bz will have? (iii) Using the data in SLEEP75, the estimated equation is sleep = 3,638.25 – .148 totwrk – 11.13 educ + 2.20 age n = 706, R? = .113. If someone works five more hours per week, by how many minutes is sleep predicted to fall? Is this a large tradeoff? (iv) Discuss the sign and magnitude of the estimated coefficient on educ. (v) Would you say totwrk, educ, and age explain much of the variation in sleep? What other factors might affect the time spent sleeping? Are…
An advertising firm wishes to demonstrate to potential clients the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns it has conducted. The firm is presenting data from 12 recent campaigns, with the data indicating an increase in sales for an increase in the amount of money spent on advertising. In particular, the least-squares regression equation relating the two variables cost of advertising campaign (denoted by x and written in millions of dollars) and resulting percentage increase in sales (denoted by y) for the 12 campaigns is y = 6.18 +0.14x, and the standard error of the slope of this least-squares regression line is approximately 0.10. Using this information, test for a significant linear relationship between these two variables by doing a hypothesis test regarding the population slope B₁. (Assume that the variable y follows a normal distribution for each value of x and that the other regression assumptions are satisfied.) Use the 0.10 level of significance, and perform a two-tailed…
A sports statistician was interested in the relationship between game attendance (in thousands) and the number of wins for baseball teams. Information was collected on several teams and was used to obtain the regression equation ŷ = 4.9x + 15.2, where x represents the attendance (in thousands) and ŷ is the predicted number of wins. What is the predicted number of wins for a team that has an attendance of 17,000? 83.3 wins 98.5 wins 258.4 wins 263.3 wins
A group of scientists wants to determine the efficacy of a vaccine. To do they recruited 1000 subjects. Two months ago 300 random subjects received the vaccine T = 1. The other 700 received a placebo T = 0. The scientist also measured if the subjects became infected with the virus Y = 1 or not Y = 0 in the last 2 months. They plan to test the efficacy of the vaccine by running the following regression: Y = Bo + Bit tu Which of the following statements is FALSE: Select one: a. This model will generate biased estimates because it does not control for many omitted variables Ob. The fact that more people receive the placebo than the vaccine will not generate bias Scientists do not need to observe the initial health status of the subjects to get unbiased estimates because the assignment of the vaccine was random O d. A negative B₁ would indicate that the vaccine is effective c.
Assume there is a positive linear correlation between the variable R (Return rate in percent of a financial investment) and the variable t (age in years of the investment) given by the regression equation R= 2.3t + 4.8 A. Without further information, can we assume there is a cause-and-effect relationship between the return rate and the age of the investment? B. If the investment continues to grow at a constant rate, what is the expeted return rate when the investment is 7 years old? C. If the investment continues to grow at a constant rate, how old is the investment when the return rate is 30%?
