2.1 The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has recently released a report on the relationship between international students’ ethnicity and enrolments in higher education. Identify the dependent variable(s) and the independent variable (s) in the above scenario.
Economists, Angrist and Lavy (1999) exploited an 800 year-old rule regarding classroom size to estimate the causal effect of smaller classes on student achievement. The rule, made famous by 12th century scholar Maimonides, states that one teacher is sufficient to manage a class with up to 40 students. Classes with more than 40 students will require 2 teachers. Angrist and Lavy noticed that strict application of this rule in certain areas meant that if 80 students were enrolled in a school, then the school would divide them up into two groups of 40 students per teacher. If 81 students were enrolled, however, they would be placed in three classes of 27 students each. The rule thus generated sharp discontinuities in class sizes within schools, which, the authors argue, allow them to provide causal evidence of a boost in fifth grade math and reading scores as a result of smaller class size. a. What research design is implied by the authors’ use of Maimonides’ rule to estimate the causal…
8. It appears that there is some truth to the old adage “That which doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.” Seery, Holman, and Silver (2010) found that individuals with some history of adversity report better mental health and higher well-being compared to people with little or no history of adversity. In an attempt to examine this phenomenon, a researcher surveys a group of college students to determine the negative life events that they experienced in the past 5 years and their current feeling of well-being. For n = 18 participants with 2 or fewer negative experiences, the average well-being score is M = 42 with SS = 398, and for n = 16 participants with 5 to 10 negative experiences the average score is M = 48.6 with SS = 370. a. Is there a significant difference between the two populations represented by these two samples? Use a two-tailed test with α = .01. b. Compute Cohen’s d to measure the size of the effect. c.

She also hypothesizes that individuals with better childhood finances will have better financial satisfaction as adults. Finally, she believes that people with better financial satisfaction as adults will have better life satisfaction as adults.

Indicate which variable is a mediator, and also indicate whether we are hypothesizing a positive or negative indirect effect

7) The following results are from data that were collected from a sample of Chicago Cubs baseball games. The dependent variable is ATTENDANCE, TEMP is a variable measuring the forecasted game-time temperature: WIN% is a variable measuring the winning percentage of the Cubs before the game is played, OPWIN% is a variable measuring the winning percentage of their opponent, WEEKEND is a dummy variable = 1 if the game is played on a weekend and = 0 if the game is played during a weekday, PROMOTION is a dummy variable = 1 if there is a promotion for the game (giving away something to those who attend the game) and = 0 if there is not a promotion, and WEEK*PROM is an interaction term equal to WEEKEND*PROMOTION. a) What is the predicted attendance if TEMP = 70, WIN% = 500, OPWIN% = 500, the game is played on a weekend and there is NO promotion? b) What is the predicted attendance if TEMP = 70, WIN% = 500, OPWIN% = 500, the game is played on a weekend and there is a promotion? c) Based on…
