This dataset continues our saga of modeling the price of this popular Honda automobile. The dataset has now been cleaned to remove the columns with the dealership where the car was offered for sale and specific trim. (a) write out your model in econometric notation. Be very precise! (b) using the 93 observations in the dataset, estimate a model where price is a function of age, mileage and trim of the car. Be sure to avoid the dummy variable trap!! Fully report the results of your model. In this case, interpretation of the coefficients on the dummy variables is particularly important. (c) test the hypothesis that the specific trim does not affect the price of a Civic. Be sure to do all parts of the hypothesis test.

Laetisaric acid is a compound that holds promise for control of fungus diseases in crop plants. Below is the least-squares regression equation to predict fungus growth (mm) from laetisaric acid concentration (µG/ml): ŷ =31.8 -0.712x Which of the following statements is correct? A. Above-average values of laetisaric acid concentration tend to accompany above-average values of fungus growth. B. From the given regression equation, we know the correlation is negative and we can say what the exact value of that correlation is. C. When fungus growth increases by 1 mm, the laetisaric acid concentration decreases by 0.712 µG/ml. D. None of the above.

There may be an association between a country's birthrate and the life expectancy of its inhabitants. A report this past year, coming from a random sample of 20 countries, contained the following information: the least-squares regression equation relating the two variables number of births per one thousand people (denoted by x) and female life expectancy (denoted by y and measured in years) is y = 82.28 – 0.51 x, and the standard error of the slope of this least-squares regression line is approximately 0.35. Based on this information, test for a significant linear relationship between these two variables by doing a hypothesis test regarding the population slope B,. (Assume that the variable y follows a normal distribution for each value of x and that the other regression assumptions are satisfied.) Use the 0.10 level of significance, and perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H, and the…

3. 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)
Biologist Theodore Garland, Jr. studied the relationship between running speeds and morphology of 49 species of cursorial mammals (mammals adapted to or specialized for running). One of the relationships he investigated was maximal sprint speed in kilometers per hour and the ratio of metatarsal-to-femur length. A least-squares regression on the data he collected produces the equation ŷ = 37.67 + 33.18x %3D where x is metatarsal-to-femur ratio and ŷ is predicted maximal sprint speed in kilometers per hour. The standard error of the intercept is 5.69 and the standard error of the slope is 7.94. Construct an 80% confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line. Give your answers precise to at least two decimal places. Lower limit: Upper limit:

An advertising firm wishes to demonstrate to potential clients the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns it has conducted. The firm is presenting data from 12 recent campaigns, with the data indicating an increase in sales for an increase in the amount of money spent on advertising. In particular, the least-squares regression equation relating the two variables cost of advertising campaign (denoted by x and written in millions of dollars) and resulting percentage increase in sales (denoted by y) for the 12 campaigns is y = 6.18 +0.14x, and the standard error of the slope of this least-squares regression line is approximately 0.10. Using this information, test for a significant linear relationship between these two variables by doing a hypothesis test regarding the population slope B₁. (Assume that the variable y follows a normal distribution for each value of x and that the other regression assumptions are satisfied.) Use the 0.10 level of significance, and perform a two-tailed…
