Suppose that a random sample of 200 20-year-old men is selected from a population and that these men's height and weight are recorded. A regres- sion of weight on height yields Weight = -99.41 + 3.94 × Height, R² 0.81, SER 10.2, where Weight is measured in pounds and Height is measured in inches. a. What is the regression's weight prediction for someone who is 70 in. tall? 65 in. tall? 74 in. tall? b. A man has a late growth spurt and grows 1.5 in. over the course of a year. What is the regression's prediction for the increase in this man's weight?

determine the regression line equation plot the line on a graph and summarize the results( reject or do not) is there enough evidence?
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 unemployment rate for 18- to 34-year-olds was reported to be 10.8% (the Cincinnati Enquirer, november 6, 2012). assume that this report was based on a random sample of four hundred 18- to 34-year-olds. a. a political campaign manager wants to know if the sample results can be used to conclude that the unemployment rate for 18- to 34-years-olds is significantly higher than the unemployment rate for all adults. according to the bureau of labor Statistics, the unemployment rate for all adults was 7.9%. develop a hypothesis test that can be used to see if the conclusion that the unemployment rate is higher for 18- to 34-year-olds can be supported.b. use the sample data collected for the 18- to 34-year-olds to compute the p-value for the hypothesis test in part (a). using a 5 .05, what is your conclusion?c. explain to the campaign manager what can be said about the observed level of significance for the hypothesis testing results using the p-value
The OLS estimation of the relationship between GRADE and HOURS of studying gives the following fitted equation (standard errors in parentheses): GRADEA = 38.15+0.048*HOURS (6.85) (0.01) Calculate the corresponding t statistic to test the slope coefficient for significance (Use two decimal places without rounding)
With Panel Data, if we assume that the individual effects vi are not correlated with the regressors Xit (i.e. E(vi|Xit) = 0), which one of the following statements is correct: The Fixed Effects estimator is not consistent. Both the OLS and the Random Effects estimators are not consistent. The OLS estimator is not consistent, but the Random Effects estimator is consistent. The OLS and the Random Effects estimator are consistent. All of the above. None of the above
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.
