- You work as a data scientist for a real estate company in a seaside resort town. Your boss has asked you to discover if it's possible to predict how much a home's distance from the water affects its selling price. You are going to collect a random sample of 7 recently sold homes in your town. You will note the distance each home is from the water (denoted by x, in km) and each home's selling price (denoted by y, in hundreds of thousands of dollars). You will also note the product x.y of the distance from the water and selling price for each home. (These products are written in the row labeled "xy"). (a) Click on "Take Sample" to see the results for your random sample. Distance from the water, .x (in km) Take Sample Selling price, y (in hundreds of thousands of dollars) xy Send data to calculator Based on the data from your sample, enter the indicated values in the column on the left below.

A Ross MAP team is trying to estimate the revenues of major-league baseball teams during the regular season using a regression model. Currently, the independent variables include stadium capacity, the number of weekend games, the number of night games, and the number of Wins (out of 162 regular season games). One of your team members suggests that the model also should include the number of losses as it provides additional explanatory power. Assume that ties are not possible; so every game results in exactly one team winning and the other team losing. Which of the following statements is the most likely conclusion of the new regression model? (a) R2 will increase, adjusted R2 will decrease, and Serror will decrease. (b) R2 and adjusted R2 will increase, and serror will decrease. (c) R, adjusted R2, and Serror will increase. (d) We cannot trust the regression output as some variables are highly correlated, resulting in multicollinearity.

- State University has increased its tuition for in-state and out-of-state students in each of the past 5 years to offset cuts in its budget allocation from the state legislature. The university administration always thought that the number of applications received was independent of tuition; however, drops in applications and enrollments the past 2 years have proved this theory to be wrong. University admissions officials have developed the following relationships between the number of applicants who accept admission and enter State and the cost of tuition per semester (in-state) (out-of-state) The university would like to develop a planning model that will indicate the in-state and out-of-state tuitions, as well as the number of students that could be expected to enroll in the freshman class. The university doesn’t have enough classroom space for more than 1,400 freshmen, and it needs at least 700 freshmen to meet all its class-size x2 = 35,000 - 6t2 x1 = 21,000 - 12t1 (xi) (ti):…1. The following model is a simplified version of the multiple regression model used by Biddle and Hamermesh (1990) to study the tradeoff between time spent sleeping and working and to look at other factors affecting sleep: sleep = Bo + B1totwrk + Bzeduc + B3age + u, where sleep and totwrk (total work) are measured in minutes per week and educ and age are measured in years. (a) If adults trade off sleep for work, what is the sign of 31? (b) What signs do you think 32 and B3 will have? (c) Using the data in SLEEP75.csv, the estimated equation is sleep = 3638.25 – 0.148totwrk – 11.13educ + 2.20age, n = 706 R = 0.113. If someone works five more hours per week, by how many minutes is sleep predicted to fall? Is this a large tradeoff? (d) Discuss the sign and magnitude of the estimated coefficient on educ. (e) 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? 2.…Suppose we obtain data on prices of big-screen televisions and estimate the following model: In(Price) = 4.06 + 0.06 * Size +0.23 * Wide + 0.34 * Plasma + 0.21 * LCD+0.09 * Memory where the dependent variable has been transformed, Size is the screen size measured in inches, Wide is a dummy variable equal to one if the television is a widescreen, Plasma is a dummy variable equal to one if the television is a Plasma screen, LCD is equal to one if the television is an LCD screen, and Memory is a dummy variable equal to one if the television has any memory card slots.

Suppose that you estimate a model of house prices to determine the impact of having beach frontage on the value of a house.14 You do some research, and you decide to use the size of the lot instead of the size of the house for a number of theoretical and data availability rea- sons.

Consider the following regression model: Weekly Hours = Bo + B1 × Wage + uj Weekly Hours is the average number of hours the individual worked over the course of the year and Wage is the individual's average hourly wage over the course of the year. A researcher who collects data and regresses Weekly Hours against Wage finds that B1 > 0. The OLS estimator, B, however, likely suffers from omitted variable bias because those individuals who earn high wages may be driven personalities who would work long hours no matter the wage. Because of this omitted variable bias, it is likely the case that B1_B1. A) В)Parameter estimates Direct effects Freedom Generosity Family Life Expectancy Note.
