According to human capital theory, a person’s earning is linked to her level of education – there is a relationship between workers income and years of education. Using data from the Labour Force Survey, a researcher found the following regression results for earnings on intercept, years of education, experience, and experience squared:
Earnings = 5.24 + 0.035 educ + 0.165 exper – 0.003 exper2
(2.45) (0.012) (0.031) (0.001)
Construct a 95% confidence interval for the effect of years of education on earnings ?
2. Consider an individual with 8 years of experience. What would you expect to be the return to two (2) additional years of experience (the effect on earnings)?

- Olympic Pole Vault The graph in Figure 7 indicates that in recent years the winning Olympic men’s pole vault height has fallen below the value predicted by the regression line in Example 2. This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177.
