We have the following data for 17 countries: A researcher estimates a regression using the above data and obtains that: (a) Draw a scatter plot using M and G in each of the axes and explain why the researcher should expect that there is a problem of heteroscedasticity. (b) Explain the consequences of heteroscedasticity on the properties of the estimated coefficients.

Accountants at the GIll Co and Charted Brothers Accounting believed that several traveling executives were submitting unusually high travel vouchers upon returning from business trips. First, they took a sample of 200 vouchers submitted from the past year. Then they developed the following multiple-regression equation relating expected travel cost (Y) to a number of days on the road (X1) and distance traveled (X2) in miles: Y = 90.00 + 48.50X1 + 0.40X2 Here is additional information concerning the regression model: Sb1 = 0.038 Sb2 =0.019 R2 = 0.68 Se = 1.63 F-Statistic = 32.123 Durbin-Watson (d) statistic = 0.5436 What proportion of the total variation in expected travel cost is explained by the regression equation? Explain.
In the method of regression, data sets are summarized in a useful form. The “independent” pieces of data are called inputs or regressors, whereas a quantity that is a function of the inputs, will be called a response. In an experiment, the effect of increasing storage temperature is related to the number of spoiled loaves of bread after 7 days. In this case, which variable will be the regressor?
Consider a linear regression model that relates school expenditures and family background to student performance in Massachusetts using 224 school districts. The response variable is the mean score on the MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) exam given in May 1998 to 10th-graders. Four explanatory variables are used: (1) STR is the student-to-teacher ratio, (2) TSAL is the average teacher’s salary, (3) INC is the median household income, and (4) SGL is the percentage of single family households. The Excel Regression output for the sample regression equation is given below. (a) What proportion of the variation in MCAS score is explained by the explanatory variables? (b) At the 5% level, are the explanatory variables jointly significant in explaining MCAS score? Explain briefly. (c) At the 5% level, which variables are individually significant at predicting MCAS score? Explain briefly. (d) Suppose a second regression model (Model 2) was generated using only…

Consumers are often interested in the fuel efficiency of the vehicles they choose to buy, so much so that they will research the various models they consider buying. Fuel efficiency can depend on a variety of variables. In this analysis, there are 73 automobiles that are popular with consumers. A regression analysis has been performed; the dependent variable is CityMPG (EPA miles per gallon in city driving), and independent variables are Length (vehicle length in inches), Width (vehicle width in inches), Weight (vehicle weight in pounds), and ManTran (1 if manual shift transmission, 0 otherwise). The level of significance is 0.05. Use the following MegaStat output to answer questions about this regression analysis. a. State the regression equation. b. How would CityMPG be affected if the width of a vehicle increased by an inch? c. Estimate the CityMPG for a vehicle with a length of 190 inches, a width of 75 inches, a weight of 4100 pounds, and a manual. Round your answer to the nearest…

A researcher has developed a regression model from fourteen pairs of data points. He wants to test to determine if the slope is significantly different from zero. He uses a two-tailed test and a = 0.01. The critical tablet value is 2.718 3.012 2.650 O 3.055 O 2.168
Fit these three regression models and then discuss the similarities and differences between them, particularly as relates to slope estimates (use CI’s) and R2. Also address why this is a “special case” and we wouldn’t necessarily expect to see these model characteristics for a typical dataset. a) Additive model including both predictors (output attached) b) Model including only Moisture (output attached) c) Model including only Sweetness BrandLiking = 68.62 + 4.38 Sweetness Term 95% CI P-ValueConstant (50.16, 87.09) 0.000Sweetness (-1.46, 10.21) 0.130 S R-sq R-sq(adj)10.8915 15.57% 9.54%
The table below gives the number of weeks of gestation and the birth weight (in pounds) for a sample of five randomly selected babies. Using this data, consider the equation of the regression line, ŷ = bọ + b1x, for predicting the birth weight of a baby based on the number of weeks of gestation. Keep in mind, the correlation coefficient may or may not be statistically significant for the data given. Remember, in practice, it would not be appropriate to use the regression line to make a prediction if the correlation coefficient is not statistically significant.

The image contains two graphs typical of the analysis of a simple linear regression model. It can be stated that: a. The variance of the errors seems constant b. The errors do not come from a normal distribution c. The linear model does not seem appropriate d. The residuals are close to the line and therefore there is normality in the data. Why? Thanks
Stoaches are fictional creatures that nest in truffula forests. A researcher wants to know whether there is a relationship between a stoach’s wingspan (?W, the predictor) and its nest height (?H, the response). A sample of 88 stoaches is observed, and for each, the wing-span (in cm) and the nest height (in m) are recorded. The observed data meet the assumptions for a linear regression, so the researcher fits the regression model and obtains a regression equation ℎ̂=−0.813+0.177?,h^=−0.813+0.177w, with standard error for the coefficient of ?w equal to 0.448. Determine the ?p-value from a test for a statistically significant linear dependence of nest height on wing-span. (Give your answer to 4 decimal places.
