3 Upon admission to college, students often must take placement tests in English and mathematics. Students who "fail," for example, the mathematics placement test must retake high school level mathematics (called remedial mathematics) before being able to take the mathematics required to graduate from college. Sometimes students fail the mathematics placement test because they did not bother to review basic ideas of algebra and geometry before taking the test. These students are placed into remedial mathematics classes even though they are capable of doing college level mathematics. The hypothetical table below shows the results for a random sample of 100 entering freshmen who did not bother to review for the placement test. Need Remedial Math (Have Condition) Do Not Need Remedial Math Total Fail Placement Test (Test Positive for Remedial Math) 25 26 51 Pass Placement Test (Test Negative for Remedial Math) 11 38 49 Use this table in completing the following questions and tasks.

By subsidizing property ownership, the deduction induces people to invest and then to have a stake in our democracy. Ownership makes people vote for long-run investments instead of short-run transfers." Consider the following regression model: Мeetingsi 3D Bo + Bi x Нотеower + u Meetings is the number of town hall meetings the individual attended in the last year and Homeowner equals 1 if the individual is a homeowner. A researcher who collects data and regresses Meetings against Homeowner finds that B, > 0. The OLS estimator, B, however, likely suffers from omitted variable bias because…
