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.…
A researcher wants to test the relationship between the number of years of formal education received (X) and the average weekly earnings (Y) (measured in hundred
dollars).
A report released by a government agency suggests that the average weekly earnings of individuals with no formal education is equal to $545. The researcher wants to
test whether the average weekly earnings with no formal education is $545 or greater than that. He collects data from a sample of 120 individuals and estimates the
following regression function:
Y-6.91+2.30X,
(1.25) (4.25)
where , is the predicted value of the weekly earnings for the individual and the standard errors for the coefficients appear in parenthesis.
The f-statistic for the test the researcher wants to conduct will be

However, you are concerned that there may be a limit to this relationship. Some experimentation has convinced you that the relationship between wages paid (x) and profits can be modelled by the equation Profit = 25x − 0.1x2 + 200. Use a Nonlinear Solver tool to determine the level of wages that will maximize profits.arrow_forwardAn independent researcher is interested in finding out whether there exists a positive relationship between the number of years of formal education received by an individual and the number of years of formal education received by each of his parents. It is assumed that the number of years of formal education received by one parent of an individual is positively correlated with that of the other parent. The researcher randomly selects 130 individuals and estimates the following regression function: Y₁ = 7+0.56X₁, where Y, denotes the number of years of formal education received by the th individual and X; denotes the number of years of formal education received by the th individual's father. Since the researcher only incorporates the educational attainment of an individual's father in the regression, and not that of the individual's mother, omitted variable bias will occur. Which of the following statements correctly describes the omitted variable bias? A. Omitted variable bias arises…arrow_forward
