Which of the following measures of central tendency can have more than one value in a single sample? Mode Median Variance Mean
T or F A household is frequently used in analyses because more consistent data are usually collected at that level.
Which of the following is true of heteroskedasticity? a) The R-squared statistic is affected by the presence of heteroskedasticity b) Heteroskedasticty causes inconsistency in the Ordinary Least Squares estimators c) The OLS estimators are not the best linear unbiased estimators if heteroskedasticity is present d) It is not possible to obtain F statistics that are robust to heteroskedasticity of an unknown form
Textbook authors must be careful that the reading level of their book is appropriate for the target audience. Some methods of assessing reading level require estimating the average word length. We've randomly chosen 20 words from a randomly selected page in Intro Stats and counted the number of letters in each word: 5, 5, 2, 11, 3, 5, 6, 8, 5, 4, 7, 2, 9, 4, 8, 10, 4, 7, 6, 9 Suppose that our editor was hoping that the book would have a mean word length of 6.8 letters. Does this sample indicate that the authors failed to meet this goal? With a significance level of 0.05, test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. (i.e state the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses, calculate the test statistic, conclude and interpret it).
Econometrics Thomas Eisensee and David Stromberg wanted to measure how much news coverage of a foreign disaster impacted the amount of disaster relief provided by the U.S. government. They argue that the simple relationship would be biased. Let X = Minutes of News Coverage and Y= Disaster Aid. Choose a variable X2 that could bias the simple relationship. This variable should impact the amount of coverage and impact the amount of aid for reasons other than purely news coverage. Eisensee and Stromberg introduce an instrument Z = During the Olympics. Explain how Z could satisfy the relevant and exogenous criteria. Explain how you could use Z to estimate the impact of X on Y free from X2 bias. Hint: you should mention two stages.
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
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

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…

The management of a large firm would like to know something about employee morale and the other variables to which it may be related. To study these relationships, each employee in a simple random sample of 27 employees is interviewed and tested to obtain information concerning morale level and the average number of satisfying extra work social contacts experienced during a week. Whether or not the duties the employee usually performs are appropriate to the job title is also determined. The dependent variable Y is measure of morale, the quantitative independent variable, X1 is average number of social contacts, and the following dummy variable coding is used to quantify the qualitative variable: X₂ = 1 if yes, X₂ = 0 if no. The model including dummy variable and the interaction term was being estimated and a part of computer outputs is below:
