Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 74CP
Unemployment and GDP Refer to Exercise 13.67. When unemployment rate of a country is added as an additional predictor to the model already containing CO2 and percentage of population not using the Internet, we get the following output.
- a. Interpret the sign of the coefficient for unemployment. Is this the direction of the effect you would expect?
- b. Is the coefficient for unemployment significantly different from zero? Explain. Does this automatically mean unemployment is unrelated to GDP? (Hint: Does the effect of employment depend on other variables in the model?)
- c. What measure would you use to investigate whether unemployment helps in predicting GDP?
- d. R2 increases from 94.26% to 94.28% when adding unemployment to the model with CO2 and NoInternet. Explain what this means.

Mercury is a persistent and dispersive environmental contaminant found in many ecosystems around the world. When released as an industrial by-product, it often finds its way into aquatic systems where it can have deleterious effects on various avian and aquatic species. The accompanying data on blood mercury concentration (µg/g) for adult females near contaminated rivers in a state was read from a graph in an article.
