Sir Francis Galton, a cousin of James Darwin, examined the relationship between the height of children and their parents towards the end of the 19th century. It is from this study that the name "regression" originated. You decide to update his findings by collecting data from 110 college students, and estimate the following relationship: Studenth=19.6+ 0.73x Midparh, R²=0.45, SER=2.0 (7.2) (0.10) where Studenth is the height of students in inches, and Midparh is the average of the parental heights. Values in parentheses are heteroskedasticity robust standard errors. (Following Galton's methodology, both variables were adjusted so that the average female height was equal to the average male height.) For the following questions except (d), type your answers in two decimal places. (a) If we test for the statistical significance of the slope coefficient, the relevant f-statistic is f = (b) Construct a 95% confidence interval for a one inch increase in the average of parental height: ( (c) The prediction for the height of a child whose parents have an average height of 70.06 inches is (d) The model explains percent of the variation in the height of students. Hint: type an integer. inches.

determine the regression line equation plot the line on a graph and summarize the results( reject or do not) is there enough evidence?
You use a dataset with 538 observations to run a simple linear regression. You find that the coefficient estimate is 3.258 and that the standard error of the coefficient estimate is 1.794. What is the lower end of the 98% confidence interval (of a two- sided test)? (you need to write a number that is rounded to the fourth digit after the decimal).
Assess whether the error terms of the econometric model in Wage=b0+b1(lQ) are normally distributed using the residuals from the sample regression function in wage=166.99+8.3(IQ), based on a histogram of frequency distribution, the skewness and kurtosis values, as well as the Jarque-Bera test statistic.
the unemployment rate for 18- to 34-year-olds was reported to be 10.8% (the Cincinnati Enquirer, november 6, 2012). assume that this report was based on a random sample of four hundred 18- to 34-year-olds. a. a political campaign manager wants to know if the sample results can be used to conclude that the unemployment rate for 18- to 34-years-olds is significantly higher than the unemployment rate for all adults. according to the bureau of labor Statistics, the unemployment rate for all adults was 7.9%. develop a hypothesis test that can be used to see if the conclusion that the unemployment rate is higher for 18- to 34-year-olds can be supported.b. use the sample data collected for the 18- to 34-year-olds to compute the p-value for the hypothesis test in part (a). using a 5 .05, what is your conclusion?c. explain to the campaign manager what can be said about the observed level of significance for the hypothesis testing results using the p-value
A researcher investigating whether government expenditure crowds out investment estimates a regression on data for 30 countries. I-investment; G-government recurrent expenditure; Y=gross domestic product; all measured in $US billion. P= population measured in million. Standard errors are in parentheses. Î= 18.10 (7.79) R² = 0.99 1.07G + 36Y (0.14) (0.02) She suspects that countries with higher GDP may have more variability in their investment. She sorts the observations by increasing size of gdp per capita (Y)and estimates the regression again for the 11 countries with the lowest gdp(Y)and the 11 countries with the largest gdp(Y). The RSS1 from the first regression is 7186. The RSS2 from the second regresison is 28101. Perform a Goldfeld-Quandt Test at a 5% significance level. a. The test statistic for this test is 0.256 b.

We have a random sample of workers from a large firm. In 2017, the firm ran a training program. Some workers did the training program, others did not. The firm now wants to assess the effect of the training on earnings. We use the following model to estimate the effect of a training program on annual earnings in 2018: ln⁡(earn2018)=β0+β1train+β2ln⁡(earn2016)+β3educ+β4exper+u where earn2018 = individual total annual earnings in 2018 in dollars train = a dummy variable that takes the value 1 if the individual worker did the training in 2017 and 0 otherwise earn2016 = individual total annual earnings in 2016 in dollars educ = the individual's years of education exper = the individual's years of experience We find: ln⁡(earn2018)^= 11.672 + 0.041train + 0.821ln⁡(earn2016) + 0.037educ + 0.012exper (5.864) (0.019) (0.258) (0.013) (0.007) n=1278, R2= 0.048 Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the…

Explain Conditional Mean Independence by considering a regression with two regressors?
The management of a large firm would like to know something about employee morale and the other variables to which it may be related. To study these relationships, each employee in a simple random sample of 27 employees is interviewed and tested to obtain information concerning morale level and the average number of satisfying extra work social contacts experienced during a week. Whether or not the duties the employee usually performs are appropriate to the job title is also determined. The dependent variable Y is measure of morale, the quantitative independent variable, X1 is average number of social contacts, and the following dummy variable coding is used to quantify the qualitative variable: X₂ = 1 if yes, X₂ = 0 if no. The model including dummy variable and the interaction term was being estimated and a part of computer outputs is below:
