The variance of temperatures (Fahrenheit) in Buffalo, N.Y. is 362.18. What is this variance if temp is re-expressed in Celsius? [Hint: Conversion between Fahrenheit and Celsius is a linear transformation: Fahrenheit = Celsius*1.80 + 32, or Celsius = Fahrenheit*(1/1.80) - (32/1.80)]
Solid fats are more likely to raise blood cholesterol levels than liquid fats. Suppose a nutritionist analyzed the percentage of saturated fat for a sample of 6 brands of stick margarine (solid fat) and for a sample of 6 brands of liquid margarine and obtained the following results: Stick:[25.5,26.7,26.5,26.6,26.3,26.4] Liquid:[16.5,17.1,17.5,17.3,17.2,16.7] We want to determine if there a significant difference in the average amount of saturated fat in solid and liquid fats.

A newspaper conducted a statewide survey concerning the 1998 race for state senator. The newspaper took a SRS of n=1100n=1100 registered voters and found that 570 would vote for the Republican candidate.

We are researching the charity donation behaviour of Australians. We have the following model: (E1) Donate = β0 + β1Income +β2Avg_Gift + β3Edu + u Where: Donate is a dummy variable equal to 1 if the individual makes a donation in response to a social media campaign by our charity organisation, and 0 otherwise Income is the annual household income Avg_Gift is the average value of past donations made by the individual to our charity Educ is the individual's level of education (in years) Our data is a random sample of the population and we have 1,614 observations. You should assume E [u | Income, Avg_Gift, Educ] = 0. Using the information above, please answer the following 3 questions. [i] Referring to Model (E1) above, interpret the coefficient β1. [ii] You know that this model will suffer from heteroskedasticity. Why is this the case? Explain your reasoning. [iii] In your own words, what is heteroskedasticity?
