Can you tell me the reason why the cost of external equity is greater than the cost of internal equity?
- At the 5% level of significance, which variables are statistically significant? If the price of cement per yard increases by 10, what will happen to the estimated quantity of cement demanded? What happens if it will increase by 20%?Compute the forecasted values for Yt for July and August in 2020 by using the modelsstated in (c) and (d)Does correcting the sugar cane model for heteroscedasticity improve its performance? Interpret the regression coefficients.
- By what percentage is salary predicted to increase if ros increases by 50 points? Does ros have a practically large effect on salary?The following scatterplot shows a company’s monthly sales, in thousands of dollars, versus monthly advertising dollars spent, in thousands of dollars. Which of the following points is most likely a high-leverage point with respect to a regression of monthly sales versus advertising dollars?The chief economist for Argus Corporation, a large appliance manufacturer, estimated the firm’s short-run cost function for vacuum cleaners using an average variable cost function of the form AVC = a + bQ + cQ2 where AVC = dollars per vacuum cleaner and Q = number of vacuum cleaners produced each month. Total fixed cost each month is $180,000. The following results were obtained: a) Are the estimates ˆa ,ˆb , and cˆ statistically significant at the 2 percent level of significance? Which is/are significant and which is/are not? b) Do the results indicate that the average variable cost curve is ∪-shaped? How do you know?c) If Argus Corporation produces 8,000 vacuum cleaners per month, what is the estimated average variable cost? Marginal cost? Total variable cost? Total cost? d) Answer part c, assuming that Argus produces 10,000 vacuum cleaners monthly. e) at what level of output will average variable cost be at a minimum? What is the minimum average variable cost?
- Why is it that the exponential smoothing method offers a better forecast accuracy?The scatterplot of these two variables reveals a potential outlying month when the average temperature is about 53◦F and average crawling age is about 28.5 weeks. (a) Does this point have high leverage? (b) Is it an influential point?When should a regression model not be used to make a prediction?
- Compare the two separate scatterplots. In particular, how do the associtation compare between women with pets vs. women without pets? Does one group have more variation in systolic blood pressure than the other? If so, for which group? Does systolic blood pressure seem higher for common ages between the two groups? If so, for which group?Suppose you trained your logistic regression classifier which takes an image as input and outputs either dog (class 0) or cat (class 1). Given the input image x, the hypothesis outputs 0.2. What is the probability that the input image corresponds to a dog?Recent publications have addressed the growing concern in the scientific community around the increased prevalence of CAT scans in children between the ages of 7-18 and the growing rate of childhood cancers. Suppose the researcher plans to gather a SRS from a group of children in this age range who have received one or more CAT scans, and a SRS from a group of children who have never received a CAT scan and compare the number of cases of childhood cancers that develop over a prolonged period of time. Assume the following table summarizes the descriptive statistics for his samples. Population Average cases of childhood cancers Standard deviaton Sample size >CAT scan 24.6 2.4 1,894 No CAT scans 11.4 1.9 2,745 A) Carry out the appropriate statistical test to answer the researcher’s hypothesis regarding the difference in average cases of childhood cancers in children aged 7-18 receiving one or more CAT scans versus those that have never received a CAT scan.
