Sir Francis Galton, a cousin of James Darwin, examined the relationship between the height of children and their parents towards the end of the 19th century. It is from this study that the name "regression" originated. You decide to update his findings by collecting data from 110 college students, and estimate the following relationship: Studen th = 19.6 + 0.73 × Midparh, R2 = 0.45, SER = 2.0 (7.2) (0.10) where Studenth is the height of students in inches, and Midparh is the average of the parental heights. Values in parentheses are heteroskedasticity robust standard errors. Interpret the estimated slope coefficient and intercept coefficient. What is the meaning of the regression R2 ? What is the prediction for the height of a child whose parents have an average height of a. b. с. 70.06 inches?

You use a dataset with 538 observations to run a simple linear regression. You find that the coefficient estimate is 3.258 and that the standard error of the coefficient estimate is 1.794. What is the lower end of the 98% confidence interval (of a two- sided test)? (you need to write a number that is rounded to the fourth digit after the decimal).
The microstructure of an iron carbon alloy consists of proeutectoid ferrite and pearlite; the mass fractions of these microconstituents are 0.22 and 0.78, respectively. Determine the concentration of carbon in this alloy.
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.

We have a random sample of workers from a large firm. In 2017, the firm ran a training program. Some workers did the training program, others did not. The firm now wants to assess the effect of the training on earnings. We use the following model to estimate the effect of a training program on annual earnings in 2018: ln⁡(earn2018)=β0+β1train+β2ln⁡(earn2016)+β3educ+β4exper+u where earn2018 = individual total annual earnings in 2018 in dollars train = a dummy variable that takes the value 1 if the individual worker did the training in 2017 and 0 otherwise earn2016 = individual total annual earnings in 2016 in dollars educ = the individual's years of education exper = the individual's years of experience We find: ln⁡(earn2018)^= 11.672 + 0.041train + 0.821ln⁡(earn2016) + 0.037educ + 0.012exper (5.864) (0.019) (0.258) (0.013) (0.007) n=1278, R2= 0.048 Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the…
