Let X1 and X2be independent exponential random variables: fX1(x1) = e−x1 and fX2(x2) = e−x2 1
Suppose a logistic regression model is fitted for the probability of car ownership for residents
of a certain city in Oman (Y=1 if a resident owns a car, Y=0 if a resident does not own a car).
Suppose the explanatory variables used are x1=no. of years a resident spent in schooling and
x2 is gender of the resident of the city (x2=1 for a male and x2=0 for a female resident)
a) Interpret el and e82
b) if BO= -1.6, B1=0.4 and B2=3, estimate the probability of a resident in the city owning a car.
2. You have obtained measurements of height in inches of 29 female and 81 male students (Studenth) at
your university. A regression of the height on a constant and a binary variable (BFemme), which takes a
value of one for females and is zero otherwise, yields the following result:
Studentl= 71.0– 4.84×BFemme , R2 = 0.40, SER = 2.0
(0.3)
(0.57)
a. What is the interpretation of the intercept? What is the interpretation of the slope? How tall are
females, on average?
b. Test the hypothesis that females, on average, are shorter than males, at the 1% level.
c. Is it likely that the error term is homoskedastic here?

By mistake, a researcher omitted X^2 and X^3 terms in the regression and ran regression of Y on X and an intercept only. It turns out that covariance between X and B2X2 + B3X° is nonzero. Is the OLS estimator researcher computed consistent for beta 1? Yes, since the omitted variables are just functions of X. Yes, since the covariance between X and B2X2 + B3X is nonzero No, since the covariance between X and B2X4 + B3X° is nonzero No, since the omitted variables are negligibly small.arrow_forward
