1. The coefficient of correlation relating task performance score to conscientiousness score was reported as r = 0.18. Explain why the researchers should not use this statistic to investigate the curvilinear relationship between task performance and conscientiousness. 2. Give the equation of a curvilinear (quadratic) model relating task performance score (y) to conscientiousness score (x). 3. The researchers theorized that task performance increases as level of conscientiousness increases, but at a decreasing rate. Draw a sketch of this relationship. 4. If the theory in part (3) is supported, what is the expected sign of the quadratic term in the model, part (2)?

This dataset continues our saga of modeling the price of this popular Honda automobile. The dataset has now been cleaned to remove the columns with the dealership where the car was offered for sale and specific trim. (a) write out your model in econometric notation. Be very precise!  (b) using the 93 observations in the dataset, estimate a model where price is a function of age, mileage and trim of the car. Be sure to avoid the dummy variable trap!! Fully report the results of your model. In this case, interpretation of the coefficients on the dummy variables is particularly important.  (c) test the hypothesis that the specific trim does not affect the price of a Civic. Be sure to do all parts of the hypothesis test.  (please fully describe steps if you are using Excel)  Price Years Old KM EX EXT SE Sport Touring 6555 9 290363 0 0 0 0 0 9999 9 142258 0 0 0 0 0 10281 6 132644 0 0 0 0 0 12480 5 167125 0 0 0 0 0 12991 7 57398 0 0 0 0 0 12991 6 93046 0 0 0 0 0 12991…

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is thought to increase the risk of breast cancer. The accompanying data on x = percent of women using HRT and y = breast cancer incidence (cases per 100,000 women) for a region in Germany for 5 years appeared in the paper "Decline in Breast Cancer Incidence after Decrease in Utilization of Hormone Replacement Therapy." The authors of the paper used a simple linear regression model to describe the relationship between HRT use and breast cancer incidence. t HRT Use Breast Cancer Incidence 46.30 40.60 39.50 36.60 30.00 103.30 105.00 100.00 93.80 83.50 (a) What is the equation of the estimated regression line? (Round your numerical values to four decimal places.) ŷ = (b) What is the estimated average change in breast cancer incidence (in cases per 100,000 women) associated with a 1 percentage point increase in HRT use? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) cases per 100,000 women (c) What breast cancer incidence (in cases per 100,000 women) would be…

c) Show that the coefficient of determination, R², can also be obtained as the squared correlation between actual Y values and the Y values estimated from the regression model where Y is the dependent variable. Note that the coefficient of correlation between Y and X is Eyixi r = And also that ỹ = ŷ (18.75)

The marketing manager wants to estimate the effect of the MBA program on Salary controlling for the other factors. Which regression model is the MOST appropriate? Oa. Salary = B_0+B_1 MBA + ε Ob. Salary = 3_0+ B_1 MBA + B_2 Work + e c. Salary = B_0+B_1 MBA+B_2 Work + B_3 Age +8 Od. Salary = B_0+ B_1 MBA + B_2 Work + B_3 Age +B_4 Gender + ε

The​ least-squares regression equation is y=620.6x+16,624 where y is the median income and x is the percentage of 25 years and older with at least a​ bachelor's degree in the region. The scatter diagram indicates a linear relation between the two variables with a correlation coefficient of 0.7004. Predict the median income of a region in which 30​% of adults 25 years and older have at least a​ bachelor's degree.

Provide an example of a regression that arguably would have a high value of R² but would produce biased and inconsistent estimators of a causal effect. Explain why the R² is likely to be high. Explain why the OLS estimators would be biased and inconsistent.

The full question for the last question is written down below  Fail/fail to reject H0. There is insufficient/sufficient evidence at the 10​% level of significance to support the claim that there is a linear relationship between weight and number of hours slept.

The Wall Street Journal asked Concur Technologies, Inc., an expense management company, to examine data from  million expense reports to provide insights regarding business travel expenses. Their analysis of the data showed that New York was the most expensive city. The following table shows the average daily hotel room rate () and the average amount spent on entertainment () for a random sample of  of the  most-visited U.S. cities. These data lead to the estimated regression equation . For these data . Click on the datafile logo to reference the data.
