Textbook Question
Chapter 13.4, Problem 14SE
An agribusiness performed a regression of wheat yield (bushels per acre) using observations on 25 test plots with four predictors (rainfall, fertilizer, soil acidity, hours of sun). The standard error was 1.17 bushels. Find the approximate width of a 95 percent prediction interval for wheat yield, assuming that the predictor values for a test plot are near the means of the sample predictors. Would the quick rule give similar results?

•
Please Download "wages" from Canvas (the link to
this dataset is right below the HWA1 questions - it is
a Microsoft excel worksheet) and store it in your
favorite folder.
It contains 797 observations and 16 variables. The
"state" variable gives the names of the states
involved in this dataset.
• You need to have excel on your computer to open
this dataset.
i. You should use File > Import > Excel Spreadsheet
etc. as done in class 3 convert this file into a
Stata dataset. Once you are done, write the final
STATA code that makes the transformation of an
excel file to a STATA file possible.
ii. Write a code that will close the log file that has
been open since Question 1 part ii.
The mean, variance, skewness and kurtosis of a dataset are given as - Mean = 15, Variance = 20, SKewness = 1.5 and Kurtosis = 3.5 calculate the first four raw moments. (Note- Please include as much detailed solution/steps in the solution to understand, Thank you!)
