Suppose the researcher considers the following model : Wage = Bo+B,Female + u, and runs OLS, using wage data on 250 randomly selected male workers and 280 female workers. The researcher has obtained the estimated equation as Wage = 15 (1.00) 3 Female, R = 0.05. (0.5) In the equation, Wage is measured in dollars per hour, Female is a binary variable that is equal to 1 if the person is a female and O if the person is a male. The numbers in the parentheses are the standard errors of the coefficients. Which Statement is NOT correct? The coefficient of Female, -3.00, is statistically significant at 5%. O The p-value for the test that Ho: B = 0, H : B 0 is less than 0.05. This regression may suffer omitted variable bias. R Since insignificant. is too low, the wage difference between men and women is The researcher can increase R- by including more regressors in the model.
the unemployment rate for 18- to 34-year-olds was reported to be 10.8% (the Cincinnati Enquirer, november 6, 2012). assume that this report was based on a random sample of four hundred 18- to 34-year-olds. a. a political campaign manager wants to know if the sample results can be used to conclude that the unemployment rate for 18- to 34-years-olds is significantly higher than the unemployment rate for all adults. according to the bureau of labor Statistics, the unemployment rate for all adults was 7.9%. develop a hypothesis test that can be used to see if the conclusion that the unemployment rate is higher for 18- to 34-year-olds can be supported.b. use the sample data collected for the 18- to 34-year-olds to compute the p-value for the hypothesis test in part (a). using a 5 .05, what is your conclusion?c. explain to the campaign manager what can be said about the observed level of significance for the hypothesis testing results using the p-value

A researcher investigating whether government expenditure crowds out investment estimates a regression on data for 30 countries. I-investment; G-government recurrent expenditure; Y=gross domestic product; all measured in $US billion. P= population measured in million. Standard errors are in parentheses. Î= 18.10 (7.79) R² = 0.99 1.07G + 36Y (0.14) (0.02) She suspects that countries with higher GDP may have more variability in their investment. She sorts the observations by increasing size of gdp per capita (Y)and estimates the regression again for the 11 countries with the lowest gdp(Y)and the 11 countries with the largest gdp(Y). The RSS1 from the first regression is 7186. The RSS2 from the second regresison is 28101. Perform a Goldfeld-Quandt Test at a 5% significance level. a. The test statistic for this test is 0.256 b.
