2. You have obtained measurements of height in inches of 29 female and 81 male students (Studen your university. A regression of the height on a constant and a binary variable (BFemme), which tak value of one for females and is zero otherwise, yields the following result: Studen tl= 71.0 – 4.84×BFemme , R2 = 0.40, SER = 2.0 (0.57) (0.3) a. What is the interpretation of the intercept? What is the interpretation of the slope? How tall are females, on average? b. Test the hypothesis that females, on average, are shorter than males, at the 1% level. c. Is it likely that the error term is homoskedastic here?
Correlation
Correlation defines a relationship between two independent variables. It tells the degree to which variables move in relation to each other. When two sets of data are related to each other, there is a correlation between them.
Linear Correlation
A correlation is used to determine the relationships between numerical and categorical variables. In other words, it is an indicator of how things are connected to one another. The correlation analysis is the study of how variables are related.
Regression Analysis
Regression analysis is a statistical method in which it estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variable. In simple terms dependent variable is called as outcome variable and independent variable is called as predictors. Regression analysis is one of the methods to find the trends in data. The independent variable used in Regression analysis is named Predictor variable. It offers data of an associated dependent variable regarding a particular outcome.
