Students have asked these similar questions
A guidance counselor wants to determine if there is
a relationship between a student's number of
absences, x, and their grade point average
(GPA), y. The data that were collected are displayed
in the scatterplot and the least-squares regression
line was calculated. One student with 2 absences
has a GPA of 1.8. This point is circled on the graph.

What effect does the circled point have on the
standard deviation of the residuals?
This point will increase the value of the standard
deviation of the residuals because it has a large
positive residual.
This point will increase the value of the standard
deviation of the residuals because it has a large
negative residual.
This point will not affect the value of the standard
deviation of the residuals because it has a large
positive residual.
This point will decrease the value of the standard
deviation of the residuals because it has a large
negative residual.…
4. The model below explains CEO salary (salary) expressed in thousands of pounds as a function of a firm'
s sales in million pounds (sales), the return on a firm's equity (roe), and the industry in which the firm is
operating. There are two industries in the sample, services and consumer goods. These industries are
captured respectively by two dummy variables, service and goods.
The regression based on a sample of 209 firms is as follows:
= 4.5 + 0.27sales + 0.015roe - 0.08service
(0.24) (0.03) (0.05) (0. 05)
L1090 Introduction to Econometrics
R-squared = 0.35
SSR(Residual Sum of Squares) = 42.9
a. Interpret the coefficient of service.
b. In the regression model, the consumer goods as an industry is omitted from the model. Explain
the implications of adding the binary variable goods to the regression model.
The regression table from STATA and the table that I created by looking at the values from STATA are attached.
Question: Run a separate regression for each measure of social preferences (risk-taking, patience, trust) and compare whether subjective measures of individual’s math skills, their gender and age are important determinants. Summarize the results of the regressions in a table (each column representing one regression). Interpret the estimated coefficients and provide an intuition of what you have found out.

- The controller of Chittenango Chain Company believes that the identification of the variable and fixed components of the firm’s costs will enable the firm to make better planning and control decisions. Among the costs the controller is concerned about is the behavior of indirect-materials cost. She believes there is a correlation between machine hours and the amount of indirect materials used.A member of the controller’s staff has suggested that least-squares regression be used to determine the cost behavior of indirect materials. The regression equation shown below was developed from 40 pairs of observations.S = $200 + $9H where S = Total monthly cost of indirect materials H = Machine hours per month The estimated cost of indirect materials if 900 machine hours are to be used during a month is $8,300 (Assume that 900 falls within the relevant range for this cost equation.) The high and low activity levels during the past four years, as measured by machine hours, occurred…arrow_forward13.

So, I have run a linear regression of a NBA player's salary (dependent variable) on a player's statistics including average points, assists, rebounds per game, and turnovers per game (the independent variables). The final model is: Salary = 1,000,000 * Points per game + 50,000 * Assists per game + 20,000 * Rebounds per game - 30,000 * Turnovers per game %3!

- Investigate what factors determine the number of times a person logs into Facebook per week. It is argued that these four factors are important: number of friends, age in years, whether the person is employed, and whether the student has a Twitter account. That is: FACEBOOK LOGIN=f(FRIENDS,AGE,EMPLOYED,TWITTER) Name two irrelevant explanatory variables that should not be included in the regression. Note that these two variables currently should NOT feature in the regression.arrow_forwardConsider the following estimated regression model relating annual salary to years of education and work experience.

(i) If adults trade off sleep for work, what is the sign of f₁? (ii) What signs do you think ₂ and 3 will have? (iii) Using the data in SLEEP75, the estimated equation is sleep = 6,241.15 + 0.211totwrk + 9.22educ + 1.67age n = 211, R² = 0.981 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 these likely to be correlated with totwrk?arrow_forward
