1. Suppose you are interested in the effect of class attendance on college performance, and plan to estimate the following model: colGPA= a Battendance+ u,where colGPA is current GPA and attendance is a student's class attendance rage (percentage of classes attended among all the classes he or she needs to attend) Due to lack of information, students' inherent laziness is omitted from the regression. Assume that lazier students tend to have a lower attendance rate. OLS estimator of the coefficient for attendance will most likely a) be biased away from zero, so that the impact of attendance on colGPA is overestimated b) be biased toward zero, so that the impact of attendance on colGPA is underestimated c) be unbiased. d) be biased, but not enough information to determine if the impact is overestimated or underestimated

1. Suppose you wanted to predict Winnings ($) using only the number of poles won (Poles), the number of wins (Wins), the number of top five finishes (Top 5), or the number of top ten finishes (Top 10). Which of these four variables provides the best single predictor of winnings?2. Develop an estimated regression equation that can be used to predict Winnings ($) given the number of poles won (Poles), the number of wins (Wins), the number of top five finishes (Top 5), and the number of top ten (Top 10) finishes. Test for individual significance and discuss your findings and conclusions.3. Create two new independent variables: Top 2–5 and Top 6–10. Top 2–5 represents the number of times the driver finished between second and fifth place and Top 6–10 represents the number of times the driver finished between sixth and tenth place. Develop an estimated regression equation that can be used to predict Winnings ($) using Poles, Wins, Top 2–5, and Top 6–10. Test for individual significance and…

Mr. James, president of Daniel-James Financial Services, believes that there is a relationship between the number of client contacts and the dollar amount of sales. To document this assertion, he gathered the following information from a sample of clients for the last month. Let X represent the number of times that the client was contacted and Y represent the valye of sales ($1000) for each client sampled. Number of Contacts (X) Sales ($1000) 14 24 12 14 20 28 16 30 23 30 a) Compute the regression equation for client contacts and sales. Interpret the slope and intercept parameters.
Suppose the following data were collected from a sample of 15 houses relating selling price to square footage and the architectural style of the house. Use statistical software to find the following regression equation: PRICEi=b0+b1SQFTi+b2COLONIALi+b3RANCHi+ei . Is there enough evidence to support the claim that on average, houses that are ranch style have lower selling prices than houses that are Victorian style at the 0.05 level of significance? If yes, write the regression equation in the spaces provided with answers rounded to two decimal places. Else, select "There is not enough evidence."Selling Price Square Footage Colonial (1 if house is Colonial style, 0 otherwise) Ranch (1 if house is Ranch style, 0 otherwise) Victorian (1 if house is Victorian style, 0 otherwise) 377640 1941 1 0 0 460996 3397 0 1 0 405781 2764 0 0 1 407216 2906 0 0 1 435139 3401 1 0 0 405275 2600 0 0 1 381141 2203 0 1 0 370490 2046 1 0 0 404070 2210 0 0 1 460196 3692 0 1 0 382780 2172 1 0 0 406466 2606 0 1…
