Are boys, on average, heavier than girls at birth, all other factors beingequal? If so, by how much? Is the di§erence between boys and girlsestimated from this regression statistically significant at the 5% level? The last two variables are entered into the regression as centered around theirmean, Mom_Age_Cntrd and M_WtGain_Cntrd, i.e. Mom_Age_Cntrdis the variable Mom_Age minus the average age of Mom_Age, and simi-larly for M_WtGain_Cntrd. The average age of mothers is 27.2 years andthe average weight gain is 30.8 pounds.Dependent Variable: WEIGHTMethod: Least SquaresDate: 03/11/22 Time: 15:19Sample: 1 65535Included observations: 65535Huber-White-Hinkley (HC1) heteroskedasticity consistent standard errorsand covarianceVariableCoefficientStd.

The sampleis restricted to singleton births, with mothers recorded as either black orwhite, between the ages of 18 and 45, resident in the United States.With the aim to investigate factors influencing the weight of babies atbirth, a regression of Weight on a range of variables has been carried out.A description of variables is given below and the estimation results can befound on the following page.Referring to these results, answer the following questions. Keep in mindthat two of the regressors, Mom_Age and M_WtGain, are entered in theregression in terms of the deviations from their mean.

In multiple linear regression, the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) measures multicollinearity among the X-variables. What is multicollinearity, and why do we want to avoid it?
Two new variables, the market value of the firm (a measure of firm size, in millions of dollars) and stock return (a measure of firm performance, in percentage points), are added to the regression: In(Earnings) = 3.86 – 0.28Female + 0.37In(MarketValue) + 0.004Return, (0.03) (0.04) (0.004) (0.003) n = 46,670, R = 0.345. If MarketValue increases by 1.88%, what is the increase in earnings? If MarketValue increases by 1.88%, earnings increase by 0.70 % (Round your response to two decimal places.) The coefficient on Female is now – 0.28. Why has it changed from the first regression? O A. Female is correlated with the two new included variables. O B. MarketValue is important for explaining In(Earnings). O C. The first regression suffered from omitted variable bias. OD. All of the above. Assume that the coefficient estimated in the second regression is correct. Forget about the effect of the Return variable, whose effect seems small and statistically insignificant.

A vocational counselor uses the number of days without employment to predict her clients' feelings of self efficacy, measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with higher numbers meaning that clients feel more secure in their job related abilities. The slope of the regression line is –1.02. Which statement is the best interpretation for this finding? a. For every 1-point increase in self-efficacy, there is an associated decrease in the number of days of unemployment. b. For every additional day of unemployment, there is an associated decrease in self-efficacy of 1.02 points. c. The least number of days a person can be unemployed and still feel self-efficacious is 3.98 points d. The decrease in self-efficacy of 1.02 points is caused by each additional day of unemployment
Which statement is not correct for multiple regression model? When we interpret this categorical variable, we would say the change we observe when one switches from the reference category to the specific category. The reference category will not be displayed in our model results. If we include a categorical variable with more than two values (e.g., religion) as an independent variable, we want to include a dummy variable for all categories except for two. We can include more than two categorical variables in the model. The value of the independent variable not included in the model is called "reference category."

Consider the following passage: I ran a regression, with many variables to predict the result of another variable which was the murder rate. One can see that lots of things, can cause the murder rate to increase or decrease. I tried to account for all the important factors, and those factors are the SAT scores, unemployment rate, and international migration per 1,000. The SAT score is, average combined total score participants did on the SAT exam. The unemployment rate is, "a measure of the prevalence of unemployment and it is calculated as a percentage by dividing the number of unemployed individuals by all individuals currently in the labor force." (Wikipedia) International migration per 1,000 is, the number of people who come into a state from other countries per 1,000 people who live in the state. After I run the regression I will look at the t scores and p values and I should hopefully conclude that international migration does not cause crime. Which writing mistakes, if any, did…
A car dealership would like to develop a regression model that would predict the number of cars sold per month by a dealership employee based on theemployee's number of years of sales experience. The accompanying regression output was developed based on a random sample of employees. a. Predict the sales next month for an employee with 2.5 years of experience. The predicted sales is 8.6 cars. b. Compute the coefficient of determination and interpret its meaning. The coefficient of determination is 0.234 Therefore, about _________% of the variation in monthly sales is explained by the years of sales experience. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to one decimal place as needed.)
