- An attempt was made to construct a regression model explaining student scores in intermediate economics courses (Waldauer, Duggal, and Williams 1992). The population regression model assumed thatY = total student score in intermediate economics coursesX1 = mathematics score on Scholastic Aptitude TestX2 = verbal score on Scholastic Aptitude TestX3 = grade in college algebra (A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1)X4 = grade in college principles of economics courseX5 = dummy variable taking the value 1 if the student is female and 0 if maleX6 = dummy variable taking the value 1 if the instructor is male and 0 if femaleX7 = dummy variable taking the value 1 if the student and instructor are the same gender and 0 otherwiseThis model was fitted to data on 262 students. Next we report t-ratios, so that tj is the ratio of the estimate of bj to its associated estimated standard error. These ratios are as follows:t1 = 4.69, t2 = 2.89, t3 = 0.46, t4 = 4.90,t5 = 0.13, t6 = -1.08, t7 = 0.88The objective of…arrow_forwardThe number of pounds of steam used per month by a chemical plant is thought to be related to the average ambient temperature (in F) for that month.

What is the estimate of Sigma2? What is the estimate of expected stem usage when the average temperature is 55 F? What change in mean stem usage is expected when the monthly average temperature changes by 1 F? Suppose that the monthly average temperature is 47 F.

- This dataset continues our saga of modeling the price of this popular Honda automobile. The dataset has now been cleaned to remove the columns with the dealership where the car was offered for sale and specific trim. (a) write out your model in econometric notation. Be very precise! (b) using the 93 observations in the dataset, estimate a model where price is a function of age, mileage and trim of the car. Be sure to avoid the dummy variable trap!! Fully report the results of your model. In this case, interpretation of the coefficients on the dummy variables is particularly important. (c) test the hypothesis that the specific trim does not affect the price of a Civic. Be sure to do all parts of the hypothesis test.
