You find your dependent variable has a high degree of kurtosis. What is the first way to try to fix it?

1 answer:

7 0

The first way to try to fix this is to apply logarithm to the observations on the dependent variable. This is going to make the dependent variable with high degree of kurtosis normal.

Note that sometimes, the resulting values of the variable will be negative. Do not worry about this, as it is not a problem. It does not affect the regression coefficients, it only affects the regression intercept, which after transformation, will be of no interest.

Brett is 75 feet from the base of a building. he measures the angle of elevation to the top of the building and records it as 80

SashulF [63]

This is the concept of trigonometry, we are required to calculate the number of floors the building has given the information above;
# floors=[height of the building]/[height of each floor]
height of each floor=17 ft
let the height of the building be,h.
h is given by;
tan theta=opposite/adjacent
theta=80
opposite=h
adjacent=75 ft
thus
tan 80=h/75
h=75 tan 80
h=425.35 ft
thus the number of floors will be:
425.35/17
=25.020≈25 floors
