To demonstrate a causal relationship, the researchers must have appropriate time order and covariation between the variables, and they must have eliminated plausible alternative explanations. What is missing, if anything, in the following cause-and-effect assertions? Explain. A study looks at the promotion time for women and concludes that women face barriers to promotions. Proponents of free college education for all argue that teenage pregnancies and crime would be lower if everyone had the opportunity to go to college. An e-mail circulated stating that a study found that a majority of women who had breast cancer had used deodorant containing a specific chemical and argued that the government should ban that chemical.
The director of marketing at Vanguard Corporation believes that sales of the company's Bright Side laundry detergent (S) are related to Vanguard's own advertising expenditures (A), as well as the combined advertising expenditures of its three biggest rival detergents (R).The marketing director collects 36 weekly observations on S, A, and R . Vanguard's marketing director is comfortable using parameter estimates that are statistically significant at the 10 percent level or better. Give the specific statistical tool that can be used to this problem.
A researcher notes that there seems to be a difference in the prevalence of individuals who are medication adherent and have high levels of education along with a high health literacy and the prevalence of individuals who are not medication adherent and have low levels of education along with a low health literacy. Use the appropriate hypothesis to determine if education level and health literacy status are related (independent) at the 5%. Low Level of Education Low Medication Adherence High Medication Adherence Total Low Health Literacy 91 9 100 High Health Literacy 9 291 300 Total 100 300 400 High Level of Education Low Medication Adherence High Medication Adherence Total Low Health Literacy 96 4 100 High Health Literacy 4 296 300 Total 100 300 400
A researcher is interested in examining whether doctors are as accurate at diagnosing certain illnesses via telehealth as they are in person. She randomly assigns a sample of doctors to either see patients via telehealth or in person, and assesses their diagnostic accuracy. What is the dependent variable?
A sociologist recorded the number of contacts entered in a cell phone and the number of texts sent in a week for 20 cell phone users. The resulting data were used to conduct a hypothesis test to investigate whether there is a linear relationship between the number of contacts and the number of texts sent. What are the correct hypotheses for the test?
In the empirical exercises on earning and height in Chapters 4 and 5, you estimated a relatively large and statistically significant effect of a worker’s height on his or her earnings. One explanation for this result is omitted variable bias: Height is correlated with an omitted factor that affects earnings. For example, Case and Paxson (2008) suggest that cognitive ability (or intelligence) is the omitted factor. The mechanism they describe is straightforward: Poor nutrition and other harmful environmental factors in utero and in early childhood have, on average, deleterious effects on both cognitive and physical development. Cognitive ability affects earnings later in life and thus is an omitted variable in the regression. Suppose that the mechanism described above is correct. Explain how this leads to omitted variable bias in the OLS regression of Earnings on Height. Does the bias lead the estimated slope to be too large or too small? [Hint: Review Equation (6.1)]
