Transcribed Image Text:The variable descriptions and Stata outputs from the simple and multiple linear regression
are available in the picture. Use this file to answer the following questions.
a. Firstly, report the results from the regression of wage on educ in the form of a fitted
line, with the standard error of coefficients presented in parentheses underneath the
corresponding coefficients. Round the numbers to two decimal places.
b. Is the coefficient of educ statistically significant?
C.
Now consider the multiple linear regression that includes KWW as one of the
explanatory variables. Between this regression and the simple linear regression in part
(a), which model is more likely to measure the ceteris paribus effect of education on
wages? Explain and when possible use evidence to support your answer.
d. What happened to the standard error of educ after adding KWW to the model?
Discuss.
e. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? "If the log of the dependent
variable appears in the regression, changing the unit of measurement of any
independent variable affects both the slope and intercept coefficients". Discuss

A researcher wants to know whether there is a relationship between a stoach’s wingspan (?W, the predictor) and its nest height (?H, the response). A sample of 88 stoaches is observed, and for each, the wing-span (in cm) and the nest height (in m) are recorded. The observed data meet the assumptions for a linear regression, so the researcher fits the regression model and obtains a regression equation ℎ̂=−0.813+0.177?,h^=−0.813+0.177w, with standard error for the coefficient of ?w equal to 0.448.

- You have gathered data from a random sample of fast-food sandwiches in order to better understand how the amount of fat in these sandwiches relates to the amount of carbohydrates in the sandwiches. Your ultimate goal is to construct a regression equation to predict amount of carbohydrates based on amount of fat. If this is your goal, which variable should you put on the vertical axis (or y-axis) of a scatterplot of this data? O When conducting a regression analysis, it makes no difference which variable is on which axis. O Amount of fat, because it is the explanatory variable. O Amount of carbohydrates, because it is the explanatory variable. Amount of carbohydrates, because it is the response variable. O Amount of fat, because it is the response variable.arrow_forwardAn automobile rental company wants to predict the yearly maintenance expense (Y) for an automobile using the number of miles driven during the year () and the age of the car (, in years) at the beginning of the year.
