Exercise 1 (SW Chapter 5): Suppose that a researcher, using wage data on 250 randomly selected male workers and 280 female worke

rs, estimates the OLS regression Wage= 12.52 + 2.12 * male, R(squared) = 0.06, SER =4.2 (0.23) (0.36) where Wage is measured in dollars per hour and Male is a binary variable that is equal to 1 if the person is a male and 0 if the person is a female. The wage gender gap is defined as the difference in mean earnings between men and women. a) What is the estimated gender gap? b) Is the gender gap significantly different from zero? (Compute the p-value for testing the null hypothesis that there is no gender gap. c) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the gender gap. d) In the sample, what is the mean wage of women? Of men? e) Another researcher uses these same data but regresses Wages on Female, a variable that is equal to1 if the person is female and 0 if the person is a male. What are the regression estimates calculated from this regression? , Exercises 2 (SW Chapter 5) Suppose that satisfy the usual least squares assumptions. A random sample of size n=250 is drawn and yields ^ Y = 5.4 + 3.2 * X, R(squared) = 0.26, SER = 6.2 (3.1) (1.5) a) Test vs. at the 5% level. b) Construct a 95% confidence interval for . c) Suppose you learned that and were independent. Would you be surprised? Explain. d) Suppose that and are independent and many samples of size n=250 are drawn, regressions estimated, and a) and b) answered. In what fraction of the samples would H0 from a) be rejected? In what fraction of samples would the value be included in the confidence interval from b)? Exercise 3: True or False Tell if the following assertions are true or false, and explain your answer: 1. An estimator that is unbiased is necessarily efficient too. 2. An estimator that is efficient is unbiased too. 3. In multivariate regressions using the same dependent variable, when comparing between two specifications one should prefer the one with the largest R-squared. 4. This regression suffers from multicollinearity: In (earnings) = a0 + a1 Female + a2 Males + School (years) + a4 Age + u Due Date: Wednesday April 20, 2011

Answer:

  (d)  y = -2x +8

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallel line will have the same x-coefficient, eliminating choices B and C. If it goes through point (4, 0), then (x, y) = (4, 0) will satisfy the equation.

  A: 0 = -2(4) +4 = -4 . . . . . not true

  D: 0 = -2(4) +8 . . . . . . . . true

The equation you're looking for is ...

  y = -2x +8

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Since you know the slope is -2 and a point on the line is (4, 0), you can use the point-slope form of the equation for a line as a starting point.

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

For m = -2, and (h, k) = (4, 0), the equation becomes ...

  y -0 = -2(x -4)

Simplified to slope-intercept form, this is ...

  y = -2x +8

Darya [45]

Answer:

Brand 1    Brand 2    Difference

37734       35202        2532

45299      41635         3664

36240      35500        740

32100      31950         150

37210       38015       −805

48360     47800        560

38200    37810          390

33500    33215        285

Sum of difference = 2532+ 3664+740+150 −805+  560 +390 +285 = 7516

Mean = d=\frac{7516}{8}

Mean = d=939.5

a) d= 939.5

\text{Sample Standard deviation, s} = \sqrt{\dfrac{(x-\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}

=\sqrt{\dfrac{(2532-939.5)^2+(3664-939.5)^2+(740-939.5)^2 ...+(285-939.5)^2}{8-1}}

=1441.21

b)SD= 1441.21

c)Calculate a 99% two-sided confidence interval on the difference in mean life.

confidence level =99%

significance level =α= 0.01

Degree of freedom = n-1 = 8-1 =7

So, t_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}=3.499

Formula for confidence interval = \left( \bar{X} \pm t_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \times \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} \right)

Substitute the values

confidence interval = 939.5 \pm 3.499 \times \frac{1441.21}{\sqrt{8}} \right)

confidence interval = 939.5 - 3.499 \times \frac{1441.21}{\sqrt{8}} \right) to  = 939.5 + 3.499 \times \frac{1441.21}{\sqrt{8}} \right)

Confidence interval −843.396\ to  2722.396

Th<br> Write an<br> explicit formula for<br> ans<br> then<br> term of the sequence 40,50,60, ....
kenny6666 [7]
<h3>Answer:   a_n = 10n+30</h3>

n starts at 1, and n is a positive whole number (1,2,3,...)

======================================================

Explanation:

The sequence is arithmetic with first term 40 and common difference 10. Meaning we add 10 to each term to get the next one.

--------

a1 = 40 = first term

d = 10 = common difference

a_n = a_1 + d(n-1)\\\\a_n = 40 + 10(n-1)\\\\a_n = 40 + 10n-10\\\\a_n = 10n + 30\\\\

is the general nth term of this arithmetic sequence

Plug in n = 1 and you should get a_1 = 40

Plug in n = 2 and you should get a_2 = 50

and so on
