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…

- 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…arrow_forwardA political pollster wants to ensure that their poll on attitudes toward separation of church and state gets responses from all major religious groups.

However, you are concerned that there may be a limit to this relationship. Some experimentation has convinced you that the relationship between wages paid (x) and profits can be modelled by the equation Profit = 25x − 0.1x2 + 200. Use a Nonlinear Solver tool to determine the level of wages that will maximize profits.arrow_forward
- Recently the European Community (EC) decided to lower its subsidies to makers of pasta. In deciding by what amount to reduce total subsidies, experiments were carried out for determining the possible reduction in exports, mainly to the United States, that would result from the subsidy reduction. Over a small range of values, economists wanted to test whether there is a positive correlation between level of subsidy and level of exports. A computer simulation of the economic variables involved in the pasta exports market was carried out. The results follow. Assuming that the simulation is an accurate description of reality and that the values obtained may be viewed as a random sample of the populations of possible outcomes, state whether you believe that a positive rank correlation exists between subsidy level and exports level over the short range of values studied Qarrow_forwardIn the method of least squares, the principle is to minimize _____.
