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).

Sir Francis Galton, a cousin of James Darwin, examined the relationship between the height of children and their parents towards the end of the 19th century. It is from this study that the name "regression" originated. You decide to update his findings by collecting data from 110 college students, and estimate the following relationship: Studen th = 19.6 + 0.73 × Midparh, R2 = 0.45, SER = 2.0 (7.2) (0.10) where Studenth is the height of students in inches, and Midparh is the average of the parental heights. Values in parentheses are heteroskedasticity robust standard errors. Interpret the estimated slope coefficient and intercept coefficient. What is the meaning of the regression R2 ? What is the prediction for the height of a child whose parents have an average height of 70.06 inches? a. b. с. d. What is the interpretation of the SER here? Is the slope coefficient statistically significantly different from zero (at the 5% significance level)? e.
Note: If your answer does not exactly match the correct choice, it is due to rounding of intermediate calculations. To avoid the discrepancy, do your calculations in Excel without rounding.

In which of the following cases OLS estimation of Healthcare=a+bAge+u will be biased? a) Only include in your estimation sample individuals whose health care spending is more than 500 per year. b) Use a random sample. c) Healthcare is recorded with some random typing errors. d) The error variance is larger at an older age.
T or F A household is frequently used in analyses because more consistent data are usually collected at that level.
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.
