Consider a linear regression model that relates school expenditures and family background to student performance in Massachusetts using 224 school districts. The response variable is the mean score on the MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) exam given in May 1998 to 10th-graders. Four explanatory variables are used: (1) STR is the student-to-teacher ratio, (2) TSAL is the average teacher’s salary, (3) INC is the median household income, and (4) SGL is the percentage of single family households. The Excel Regression output for the sample regression equation is given below.
(a) What proportion of the variation in MCAS score is explained by the explanatory variables?
(b) At the 5% level, are the explanatory variables jointly significant in explaining MCAS score? Explain briefly.

- Olympic 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.

To determine which type is the most effective, the manager collected one week’s data from 25 randomly selected stores. For each store, the following variables were recorded: Weekly gross sales Weekly expenditure on direct mailing (Direct) Weekly expenditure on newspaper advertising (Newspaper) Weekly expenditure on television commercials (Television) Following is the regression output based on the above-mentioned data.

The data contain an indicator for whether teenage girls know about contraceptive methods (contraceptive). You are interested in estimating the causal effect of completing compulsory school on the likelihood that young girls know about contraceptive methods. You observe an indicator for completing compulsory school (compulsory), as well as age, and an dummy variable indicating residence in an urban area. Consider the following regression: contraceptive = Bo + B1age + B2age² + Bzurban + Bạcompul sory + u You are concerned that the indicator for compulsory school is correlated with the error term. The data set contains an indicator for being born in the first quarter of the year (quarter1). Birth month determines age of first entry into school in the USA. Individuals born in the first quarter of the year start school after turning 6.
