Y = -1.04+0.24X₁-0.27X₂ where Y = quarterly sales (in thousands of cases) of the cold remedy X₁ = Cascade's quarterly advertising (x $1,000) for the cold remedy X₂ = competitors' advertising for similar products (x $10,000) Here is additional information concerning the regression model: 8b1 = 0.052, 862 = 0.080, R² = 0.640, s 1.63, F-statistic = 31.402, and Durbin-Watson (d) statistic = 0.499. Which of the independent variables (if any) appears to be statistically significant (at the 0.05 level) in explaining sales of the remedy? (Hint: to.05/2,33-2.042.) Check all that apply. O X₁ OX₂ What proportion of the total variation in sales is explained by the regression equation? O 0.640 O 0.080 O 0.132 O 0.052 The given F-value shows that you reject the null hypothesis that neither of the independent variables explains a significant (at the 0.05 level) proportion of the variation in income. (Hint: F0.05,2,33-2-F3.316.)

The measure of standard error can also be applied to the parameter estimates resulting from linear regressions. For example, consider the following linear regression equation that describes the relationship between education and wage: WAGE: = Bo + B₁ EDUC; + &i where WAGE; is the hourly wage of person i (i.e., any specific person) and EDUC; is the number of years of education for that same person. The residual ₂ encompasses other factors that influence wage, and is assumed to be uncorrelated with education and have a mean of zero. Suppose that after collecting a cross-sectional data set, you run an OLS regression to obtain the following parameter estimates: WAGE;= -10.7+ 3.1 EDUC; If the standard error of the estimate of B₁ is 1.04, then the true value of B₁ lies between grows, you would expect this range to in size. and . As the number of observations in a data set

The data for this question is given in the file 1.Q1.xlsx(see image)  and it refers to data for some cities X1 = total overall reported crime rate per 1 million residents X3 = annual police funding in $/resident X7 = % of people 25 years+ with at least 4 years of college   (a) Estimate a regression with X1 as the dependent variable and X3 and X7 as the independent variables. (b) Will additional education help to reduce total overall crime (lead to a statistically significant reduction in crime)? Please explain. (c) Will an increase in funding for the police departments help reduce total overall crime (lead to a statistically significant reduction in total overall crime)? Please explain. (d) If you were asked to recommend a policy to reduce crime, then, based only on the above regression results, would you choose to invest in education (local schools) or in additional funding for the police? Please explain.
