If i have cross sectional data for multiple years and plan to perform regression using panel techniques (pooled OLS, FE, or RE), which variable would serve as the cross section unit given the following variables (see below)? I believe it would be mode of transportation. If so, do i need to include the mode of transportation in my model as a regressor dummy variable for each mode? This is transportation data: year, mode of transportation (air, train, truck), country of origin, province of origin, country of destination, province of destination, commodities, shipments, revenue, weight

please use chart attatched.  a. Explain the meaning of the slope of the regression line in this context. b. What is the predicted cost of maintenance for someone who racks up about 2,000 miles per month on a sedan? c. Suppose one of the observations used to get the data table above was a sedan owner who reported he drove 980 miles this month and spent about $450 on maintenance costs in the same month. What is the residual of this observation?

The basic hypothesis is that people who play sports are more likely than others to watch sport on TV. Your first task is to crosstabulate the data involving the playing and watching of sports and to determine the direction and strength of that relationship. Write out your findings about this basic relationship. Your next task is to determine the direction and strength of the partial relationships when you control for the gender of individuals.

The table below shows the number of state-registered automatic weapons and the murder rate for several Northwestern states. 11.8 8.2 6.9 3.6 2.5 2.8 2.6 0.4 14 11.3 10.2 7.4 6.5 6.3 5.9 4.5 x thousands of automatic weapons y = murders per 100,000 residents This data can be modeled by the equationý = 0.85x + 4.12. Use this equation to answer the following; %D A) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 7.3 thousand automatic weapons? Answer = Nearest whole value. B) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 1 thousand automatic weapons? Nearest whole value Answer =

Range of ankle motion is a contributing factor to falls among the elderly. Suppose a team of researchers is studying how compression hosiery, typical shoes, and medical shoes affect range of ankle motion. In particular, note the variables Barefoot and Footwear2. Barefoot represents a subject's range of ankle motion (in degrees) while barefoot, and Footwear2 represents their range of ankle motion (in degrees) while wearing medical shoes. Use this data and your preferred software to calculate the equation of the least-squares linear regression line to predict a subject's range of ankle motion while wearing medical shoes, ?̂ , based on their range of ankle motion while barefoot, ? . Round your coefficients to two decimal places of precision. ?̂  = A physical therapist determines that her patient Jan has a range of ankle motion of 7.26°7.26° while barefoot. Predict Jan's range of ankle motion while wearing medical shoes, ?̂ . Round your answer to two decimal places. ?̂ = Suppose Jan's…

Suppose that an urban geographer is studying historical changes in housing characteristics in London, England.  She wishes to determine if house size (square feet of living area) and the number of years since home construction are associated.  What method could she use to learn if such a relationship exists.
