QUESTION 2
You have been hired by “Indo,” the new Indonesian automobile manufacturer to build a
model of U.S. car prices in order to help the company undercut U.S. prices. Allowing
Friedmaniac zeal to overwhelm any patriotic urges, you build the following model of the
price of 35 different American-made 2016 U.S. sedans (standard errors in parentheses):
Model A: P₁ = 9.0+ 0.28W; + 1.2T; + 5.8C, + 0.19L₁
(0.07) (0.4) (2.9) (0.20)
R² = .92
where: Pi = the list price of the ith car (thousands of dollars)
Wi= the weight of the ith car (hundreds of pounds)
Ti = a dummy equal to 1 if the ith car has an automatic transmission, 0 otherwise
Ci= a dummy equal to 1 if the ith car has cruise control, 0 otherwise
Li = the size of the engine of the ith car (in liters)
a. Your firm's pricing expert hypothesizes positive signs for all the slope coefficients in
Model A. Test her expectations at the 5-percent level.
b. What econometric problems appear to exist in Model A? In particular, does the size
of…
TABLE 10.2
A course can be taken for credit either by attending lecture sessions at fixed times
and days, or by doing online sessions that can be done at the student's own pace and
at those times the student chooses. The course coordinator wants to determine if these
two ways of taking the course resulted in a significant difference in achievement as
measured by the final exam for the course. Table 10.2 gives the scores on an exami-
nation with 45 possible points for one group of n₁ = 9 students who took the course
online, and a second group of n₂ = 9 students who took the course with conventional
lectures. Do these data present sufficient evidence to indicate that the average grade
for students who take the course online is significantly higher than for those who attend
a conventional class?

He collects data on wages and the length of schooling the people had from 100 employees in a large company with the aim of creating a model that can predict wages by level of education (measured in the number of years in school after primary school). The employees with the lowest level of education in Baldur's data immediately entered the labor market after compulsory school leaving, while those with the highest level of education have completed 9 years of schooling after leaving compulsory school leaving. Baldur started by drawing the data and saw that the relationship is linear. He also calculated some fish sizes that can be seen below: standard Change average deviation salary 660020 150100 Education (year from primary school diploma) 5.5 2.2 He also calculated the correlation coefficient between salary and level of education (measured in the number of years in school from primary school exam) and obtained r = 0.55. a.)

Drug testing potential employees have become so prevalent that drug users are finding it extremely hard to find jobs. Drug tests, however, are not completely reliable. To decrease the likelihood of making an error, all potential employees are screened through two tests, which are independent. One test has a 96% accuracy and the other has a 97% accuracy. Step 1 of 2 : If a person were drug free, what is the probability they would fail both tests? Round your answer to four decimal places, if necessary.arrow_forward
