- Consider the following hypothetical regression, with FAIL? as a dummy variable for if a business failed in its first year (1=failed, 0=didn’t fail); LOAN is how much money, in thousands of dollars, the business got as a loan when it started; GIG? is a dummy variable for if there was a gig economy job available, such as driving for Lyft (1=available, 0=not available), and COMP is the number of existing competitors the business faced when it started. All variables are statistically significant. FAIL? = 0.63 – 0.01*LOAN – 0.08*GIG? + 0.05*COMP Answer the following: Determine the predicted value of FAIL? if the business had a $30,000 loan, there was no gig economy, and four competitors.
