Chapter 12.12, Problem 12.125ACB
Women in top management. Refer to the Journal of Organizational Culture. Communications and Conflict (July 2007) study on women in upper management positions at U.S. firms. Exercise 11.73 (p. 655). Monthly data (n = 252 months) were collected for several variables in an attempt to model the number of females in managerial positions (y). The independent variables included the number of females with a college degree), the number of female high school graduates with no college degree (x2). the number of males in managerial positions (x3), the number of males with a college degree (x4), and the number of male high school graduates with no college degree (x5). The
- a. The correlation relating number of females in managerial positions and number of females with a college degree: r = .983.
- b. The correlation relating number of females in managerial positions and number of female high school graduates with no college degree: r = .074.
- c. The correlation relating number of males in managerial positions and number of males with a college degree: r = .722.

The director of marketing at Vanguard Corporation believes that sales of the company's Bright Side laundry detergent (S) are related to Vanguard's own advertising expenditures (A), as well as the combined advertising expenditures of its three biggest rival detergents (R).The marketing director collects 36 weekly observations on S, A, and R . Vanguard's marketing director is comfortable using parameter estimates that are statistically significant at the 10 percent level or better. Give the specific statistical tool that can be used to this problem.

Recently, researchers have begun to focus on the relationship between potentially toxic environmental exposures in children to a number of adverse health outcomes. Suppose one such researcher wants to investigate the relationship between lead levels in soil (micrograms/dL) and BMI (kg/m2). The following table represents a SRS of households with the corresponding exterior lead levels and BMI of a randomly sampled child in the home.

- Downs and Abwender (2002) evaluated soccer players and swimmers to determine whether the routine blows to the head experienced by soccer players produced long term neurological deficits.

(2012) compared varsity football and hockey players with varsity athletes from non-contact sports to determine whether exposure to head impacts during one season have an effect on cognitive performance. In the study, tests of new learning performance were significantly poorer for the contact sport athletes compared to the non-contact sport athletes. Cognitive Performance Contact Athletes Non-Contact Athletes n1 = 8 n2 = 8 M1 = 6 M2 = 9 s2 = 8 s2 = 6.23 Are the test scores significantly lower for the contact sport athletes than for the non-contact athletes?

Make sure to use APA style conclusions (as shown in lecture videos).arrow_forwardIn the empirical exercises on earning and height in Chapters 4 and 5, you estimated a relatively large and statistically significant effect of a worker’s height on his or her earnings. One explanation for this result is omitted variable bias: Height is correlated with an omitted factor that affects earnings. For example, Case and Paxson (2008) suggest that cognitive ability (or intelligence) is the omitted factor. The mechanism they describe is straightforward: Poor nutrition and other harmful environmental factors in utero and in early childhood have, on average, deleterious effects on both cognitive and physical development. Cognitive ability affects earnings later in life and thus is an omitted variable in the regression. Suppose that the mechanism described above is correct. Explain how this leads to omitted variable bias in the OLS regression of Earnings on Height. Does the bias lead the estimated slope to be too large or too small?
