The management of a large firm would like to know something about employee morale and the other variables to which it may be related. To study these relationships, each employee in a simple random sample of 27 employees is interviewed and tested to obtain information concerning morale level and the average number of satisfying extra work social contacts experienced during a week. Whether or not the duties the employee usually performs are appropriate to the job title is also determined. The dependent variable Y is measure of morale, the quantitative independent variable, X1 is average number of social contacts, and the following dummy variable coding is used to quantify the qualitative variable: X2 = 1 if yes, X2 = 0 if no. The model including dummy variable and the interaction term was being estimated and a part of computer outputs is below: beta std error t p-value 95% CI for B Lower bound Upper bound Constant 260 134.308…

Both the OLS and the Random Effects estimators are not consistent. The OLS estimator is not consistent, but the Random Effects estimator is consistent. The OLS and the Random Effects estimator are consistent. All of the above. None of the above
A stock analyst wants to determine whether there is a difference in the mean rate of return for three types of stock: utility, retail, and banking stocks. The following output is obtained: Using the 0.05 level of significance, is there a difference in the mean rate of return among the three types of stock? Can the analyst conclude there is a difference between the mean rates of return for utility and retail stocks? For utility and banking stocks? For banking and retail stocks? (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign.)

A sample of subjects were asked their opinion about refurbishing the subway in New York (support, oppose). For the explanatory variables gender (female, male), religious affiliation (Protestant, Catholic, Jewish), and political party affiliation (Democrat, Republican, Independent), the model for the probability π of supporting legalized abortion, logit(pi) = alpha + betagh + betari + betapj has reported parameter estimates (setting the parameter for the last category of a variable equal to 0.0 and alpha^ = -0.11, beta^g1 = 0.16, beta^g2 = 0.0, beta^r1 = -0.57, beta^r2 = -0.66, beta^r3 =0.0, beta^p1 =0.84, beta^p2 = -1.67, beta^p3 =0.00) . Interpret how the odds of supporting refurbishment depend on gender. Find the estimated probability of supporting refurbishment for (i) male Catholic Republicans and (ii) female Jewish Democrats. If we defined parameters such that the first category of a variable has value 0, then what would beta^g2 equal? Show then how to obtain the odds ratio that…
