Suppose you wanted to test whether or not the payoff to an additional year of education was the same for men and women in the STEM majors. How would you set up your regression analysis in this case
It seems logical that the more bank accounts there are, the more ATM withdrawals there
would be. Using the data from Central Bank of Malaysia, a simple regression analysis for one
year data have been done to predict the number of ATM withdrawals by the number of bank
accounts: the following result is the regression output from the data.
Explain in your own words how simple regression can be helpful in identifying relationships between variables.

- What does the y -intercept on the graph of a logistic equation correspond to for a population modeled by that equation?arrow_forwardOlympic Pole Vault The graph in Figure 7 indicates that in recent years the winning Olympic men’s pole vault height has fallen below the value predicted by the regression line in Example 2. This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177. Has this new regression line provided a better prediction than the line in Example 2?arrow_forwardTable 2 shows a recent graduate’s credit card balance each month after graduation. a.

- The U.S. Postal Service is attempting to reduce the number of complaints made by the public against its workers. To facilitate this task, a staff analyst for the service regresses the number of complaints lodged against an employee last year on the hourly wage of the employee for the year. The analyst ran a simple linear regression in SPSS. The results are shown below. The current minimum wage is $5.15. If an employee earns the minimum wage, how many complaints can that employee expect to receive? Is the regression coefficient statistically significant? How can you tell?arrow_forwardConsider the following passage: I ran a regression, with many variables to predict the result of another variable which was the murder rate. One can see that lots of things, can cause the murder rate to increase or decrease. I tried to account for all the important factors, and those factors are the SAT scores, unemployment rate, and international migration per 1,000. The SAT score is, average combined total score participants did on the SAT exam. The unemployment rate is, "a measure of the prevalence of unemployment and it is calculated as a percentage by dividing the number of unemployed individuals by all individuals currently in the labor force." (Wikipedia) International migration per 1,000 is, the number of people who come into a state from other countries per 1,000 people who live in the state. After I run the regression I will look at the t scores and p values and I should hopefully conclude that international migration does not cause crime.

- The following equation is the result of performing a multiple regression analysis: Job performance = 10 + (5*job knowledge) + (0.7* conscientiousness), where job knowledge is measured on a scale of 0-5 and conscientiousness is measured on a scale of 0 to 100. Which of the following conclusions is correct? !! O If a person scored 5 on job knowledge and 100 on conscientiousness he or she would have the maximum predictive score possible If a person scored 0 on both job knowledge and conscientiousness, his or her predictive score is 0 ONeither job knowledge nor conscientiousness predicts performance O Conscientiousness is less important than job knowledge.

Using data from the Labour Force Survey, a researcher found the following regression results for earnings on intercept, years of education, experience, and experience squared: Earnings = 5.24 + 0.035 educ + 0.165 exper – 0.003 exper2 (2.45) (0.012) (0.031) (0.001) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the effect of years of education on earnings ? 2.

They built a simple linear regression model treating X as the possum's belly girth and Y as the possum's tail length. Below and at the top of the next page are all the results you will need to answer the ensuing questions, including: ● The straight line of best fit: ŷ = 30.2 + .21x • The correlation between the observed y and predicted ŷ: ry,ŷ .294 • At the top of the next page are three residual plots: (a) the plot of belly girth vs. the residuals, (b) the plot of the residuals in order of collection, (c) the histogram of the residuals = These are real data (source) consisting of measurements on each of 104 mountain brushtail possums, trapped at seven sites from Southern Victoria to central Queensland, Australia.arrow_forward
