QUESTION 1Questions 1-4 are based on the following scenario:700 income-earning individuals from a district were randomly selected and asked whether they were employed by the government (Gov = 1) or failed their entrance test (Gov = 0); data were also collected ontheir gender (Male = 1) if male and = 0 if female) and their years of schooling (Schooling, in years). The following table summarizes several estimated models. (Standard errors are in parentheses).Dependent Variable: GovLinearLinearProbitLogitProbabilityProbitLogitProbabilityProbit(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)Schooling0.2720.5510.0350.548(0.029)(0.062)(0.003)(0.091)Male-0.242-0.455-0.0504.352(0.125)(0.234)(0.025)(1.291)Male x Schooling-344(0.096)-4.107(0.358)Constant-8.146-0.172-1.027-1.7170.152-7.702(0.800)(0.027)(0.098)(0.179)(0.021)(1.238)Choose the correct statement:O a. The large difference between the estimates in column (1) and the ones in column (2) implies that predicted probabilities would be highly sensitive to whether the Logit model is employed or the Probitmodel is employed.O b. Column (1) suggests that the government would hire a job candidate with 16 years of education with 24.5% probability, i.e., 0.245 = 0.272 X 16 - 4.107.O C. Column (2) suggests that the government would hire a job candidate with 16 years of education with 67.0% probability, i.e., 0.670 = 0.551 X 16 - 8.146.O d. Column (3) suggests that the government would hire a job candidate with 16 years of education with 38.8% probability, i.e., 0.388 = 0.035 X 16 - 0.172.O e. Column (4) suggests that the government would not hire anyone because the estimated coefficients are all negative. QUESTION 3Continue to use the information from Question 1.Taylor Swift is a woman with 16 years of schooling. Predict the probability that the government will employ her using the estimated Probit model with the interaction term of the gender dummy and years ofschooling. Report your answer (a value between 0 and 1) to two decimal places. You can use any of pnorm in R or the z-tables in the Quizzes folder.

What does the y -intercept on the graph of a logistic equation correspond to for a population modeled by that equation?
Olympic Pole Vault The graph in Figure 7 indicates that in recent years the winning Olympic men’s pole vault height has fallen below the value predicted by the regression line in Example 2. This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177. Has this new regression line provided a better prediction than the line in Example 2?

The issue/scenario: A bio-tech firm has provided you with 1 years’ worth of sales for a sample of 45 sales staff. Some of its sales staff are engineers and others are not. You are to analyze this data to help the company determine whether there are any differences in the sales between engineers and non-engineers. Arguably, perhaps engineers are better able to answer technical questions, but may not have the same skills as others. Additionally, the company would like to use this data to obtain an estimate of its average (annual) sales and how they compare to last year. To aid you, I have provided you with the following “guiding steps”: 1)Use a bivariate tabular method to study the relationship between “Sales” and “Engineer.” Based on this analysis, are engineers better or worse than non-engineers at Sales (higher sales are considered better)?

Fiske Corporation manufactures a popular regional brand of kitchen utensils. The design and variety has been fairly constant over the last three years. The managers at Fiske are planning for some changes in the product line next year, but first they want to understand better the relation between activity and factory costs as experienced with the current products. Discussions with the plant supervisor suggest that overhead seems to vary with labor-hours, machine-hours, or both. The following data were collected from last three year's operations: Quarter Machine-Hours 18,850 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 18,590 17,480 19,240 21,280 19,630 19,240 18,850 18,460 20,670 17,550 18,460 Labor-Hours 15,605 15,484 16,727 15,990 17,508 17,376 15,297 14,373 16,001 17,002 14,285 17,651 Factory costs $ 3,395,671 3,425,836 3,617,844 3,573,940 3,812,984 3,778,012 3,532,426 3,369,802 3,513, 187 3,731,434 3,325,615 3,724,486 Required: Prepare a scatter graph based on the factory cost and labor-hour data.
