Question

A. Write the equation of the regression line.

B. Interpret each one of the slopes in this context.

C. Calculate the estimated number of days absent and the residual for the first observation in the data set: a student who is aboriginal, male, a slow learner, and missed 2 days of school.

Researchers interested in the relationship between absenteeism from school and certain demographic characteristics of children collected data from
146 randomly sampled students in rural New South Wales, Australia, in a particular school year. Below are three observations from this data set.

The summary table below shows the results of a linear regression model for predicting the average number of days absent based on ethnic background
(eth: 0 - aboriginal, 1 - not aboriginal), sex (sex: 0 - female, 1 - male), and learner status (Irn: 0 - average learner, 1 - slow learner).
