Question

Mr. A is white, non-hispanic, 20 years old, and a high school dropout. Using the probit regression, assuming that Mr. A is not subject to a workplace smoking ban, calculate the probability that Mr. A smokes. Carry out the calculation again, assuming that he is subject to a workplace smoking ban. What is the effect of the smoking ban on the probability of smoking

Answer 1

Answer: Hi Your question lacks some information but i will give you a general solution with similar data found online

answer

a) 15.15%

b) The effect on The probability of smoking is that the p( smoking ) will reduce from 15.15% to 11.70%

Step-by-step explanation:

Using The probit regression

from the attached question ;

for smoking

1 = smokes , 0 = do not smoke

For Independent variable

1 = ban at workplace ,  0 = not ban at workplace.

sex :  male = 0 , female = 1

a) Assuming Mr. A is not subject to a workplace smoking ban

P ( Mr. A  smokes ) = 15.15%

b) Assuming Mr. A is subject to a workplace smoking ban

determine effect  on P ( Mr. A smokes )

The effect on The probability of smoking is that the p( smoking ) will reduce from 15.15% to 11.70%
