8. You collect data on people's height and study the relationship between gender and height. A regression
of the height on a binary variable (Female), which takes a value of one for females and zero otherwise,
yields the following result:
Height
= 71.0- 4.84 x Female, R2 = 0.40, SER = 2.0
(0.3) (0.57)
(a) What is the sample average male height?
(b) What is the sample average female height?
I
(c) How to interpret the slope coefficient -4.84?
(d) Is the error term in the regression more likely to be heteroskedastic or homoscedastic? Why?

Step 1

Hi! Thank you for the question, as per the honor code, we are allowed to answer three sub-parts at a time so we are answering the first three as you have not mentioned which of these you are looking for. Please re-submit the question separately for the remaining sub-parts.

Given:

The regression line

$\hat{H e i g h t} = 71.0 - 4.84 \times F e m a l e F e m a l e = 1 (F o r F e m a l e) F e m a l e = 0 (F o r M a l e)$
