X” denote the number of children ever born to a woman, and let “Y” denote years of education for the woman. A simple model relating fertility to years of education is X = β0 + β1Y + u where u is the unobserved error. (i) What kind of factors are contained in u? Are these likely to be correlated with level of education?

8. You collect data on people's height and study the relationship between gender and height. A regression of the height on a binary variable (Female), which takes a value of one for females and zero otherwise, yields the following result: Height = 71.0- 4.84 x Female, R2 = 0.40, SER = 2.0 (0.3) (0.57) (a) What is the sample average male height?

Researchers were interested in assessing whether stress levels at the beginning of the semester are related to (i.e., correlated with) stress levels during finals week. To test this, stress was measured in 5 students at the start of the semester and then again at the end of the semester during finals week.

Dataset for question (4.2.) Amount of Money Spent on Vehicle extras by 7 customers: Customer Amount_Spent х1 2300 x2 2386 x3 1920 х4 1578 x5 3065 х6 2312 x7 1790 4.2. A car dealer wants to know if the purchasing habits of buyers buying extras for their vehicles have changed. He is particularly interested in determining if male buyers are willing to spend more money on extras for their cars. Based on data collected over the past year, he has estimated that the distribution of the amount of money spent on extras is approximately normally distributed with an average of R2 000 per customer. To test this hypothesis, he has collected the following information concerning the amount of money that the last seven male customers have spent on extras (Rands). Provide all the steps.
A statistical program is recommended. A company provides maintenance service for water-filtration systems throughout southern Florida. Customers contact the company with requests for maintenance service on their water-filtration systems. To estimate the service time and the service cost, the company's managers want to predict the repair time necessary for each maintenance request. Hence, repair time in hours is the dependent variable. Repair time is believed to be related to three factors, the number of months since the last maintenance service, the type of repair problem (mechanical or electrical), and the repairperson who performed the service. Data for a sample of 10 service calls are reported in the table below. ŷ = Repair Time in Hours 2.9 3.0 ŷ = 4.8 1.8 2.4 4.9 4.7 4.8 4.4 4.5 Months Since Last Service 2 6 8 3 2 7 9 8 4 6 Type of Repair Electrical Mechanical Electrical Mechanical Electrical Electrical Mechanical Mechanical Electrical Electrical Repairperson Dave Newton Dave…
Data was gathered on the amount of rainfall X (in inches) for the last 5 years to analyze if the amount of rainfall X (in inches) could be used to predict the acorn output Y (in tons) for a group of oak trees. Researchers expect the the acorn output to increase linearly with the increase in rainfall amount. That is, they are specifically interested in testing if the correlation between the rainfall and the acorn output is positive (i.e.: ) . When the necessary conditions are satisfied, under the null hypothesis, test statistic for above test Group of answer choices follows a t distribution with degrees of freedom (n-1) follows a chi-square distribution with degrees of freedom (n-1) follows a t distribution with degrees of freedom (n-2) follows a standard normal distribution. follows a chi-square distribution with degrees of freedom (n-2)

A study of elementary school children, ages 6 to 11, finds a high positive correlation between shoe size x and score y on a test of reading comprehension. The observed correlation is most likely due to: the effect of a lurking variable, such as age or years of reading experience. a mistake, because the correlation must be negative. cause and effect (larger shoe size causes higher reading comprehension). reverse cause and effect (higher reading comprehension causes larger shoe size).
