Find the equation of the least squares regression line of y on x, for the following sets of data: (a) 3 4 8 9. 11 14 4 5 7 8. y 1 2 4 9
We are interested in studying cigarette demand by young adults. Lets consider thefollowing model:ncaj = β0 + β1price + β2age + β3income + uwhere ncaj is monthly cigarette consumption in packs, price is the price of a pack ofcigarettes in dollars, age is age in years, and income is annual income in thousandsof dollars. Consider now an extension of the model that allow the effect of theprice to differ by age. Holding all other factors fixed, is the effect of price onncaj constant? (This part is theoretical and you do not have to estimate themodel.)
After ingesting 15 mL of 95% alcohol, the blood alcohol level of a 75 kg adult male rises rapidly to a maximum level then gradually decreases over time. Measurements of the subject's blood alcohol level at time t (in minutes) since the maximum blood alcohol level was observed gave the following results: Time t (in minutes) Blood alcohol level, B (in mg/L) 10 25 60 70 90 150 160 130 70 60 40 20 a) Using least squares regression, determine an equation of the form B= Be-kt that best fits the relationship shown. You do not need to graph the data. (Note any transformations you have applied to your data: x→, y→, round the values that appear in your final equation to three significant figures, and use the correct variable names...not x and y.)| b) Using your equation from part a), estimate the time t at which the subject's blood alcohol level will be 90 mg/L? Round your answer to the nearest minute.

Suppose an analyst models mortgage application rejection rejection (Reject) as a function of the individual applicant income (Income): Reject i = β0 + β1 Income i + ε i Suppose an individual is characterized as belonging to one of the following three groups: Hispanic, Black, or neither. How would you augment this model to test whether the effect of income on mortage rejection differ based on this race/ethnicity categorization?
