- You are interested in how the number of hours a high school student has to work in an outside job has on their GPA. In your regression you want to control for high school standing and so you run the following regression: GPA = 3.4 0.03 * HrsWrk - 0.7 * Frosh - 0.3 * Soph +0.1 * Junior (1.1) (0.013) (0.23) (0.14) (0.08) where HrsWrk is the number of hours the student works per week, and Frosh, Soph, and Junior are dummy variables for the student's class standing. a) If you include a dummy variable for seniors, that would cause a Hint: type one word in each blank. For the rest of questions, type a number in one decimal place. b) The expected GPA of a Sophomore who works 10 hours per week is c) The expected GPA of a Senior who works 10 hours per week is d) If Dom and Sarah work the same number of hours per week, but Dom is a Junior and Sarah is a Freshman.

(b) Will additional education help to reduce total overall crime (lead to a statistically significant reduction in crime)? Please explain. (c) Will an increase in funding for the police departments help reduce total overall crime (lead to a statistically significant reduction in total overall crime)? Please explain. (d) If you were asked to recommend a policy to reduce crime, then, based only on the above regression results, would you choose to invest in education (local schools) or in additional funding for the police?
