Consider a regression of y on several independent variables, and the resulting predicted values of the dependent variable. The residual for the ith observation Consider a data set for a large sample of professional basketball players. Each observation contains the salary, as well as various performance statistics such as points, rebounds, and assists for each player. Suppose a regression of salary on all performance statistics is run, and the residuals are obtained. The player with the lowest (most negative) resi represents which of the following? (Assume the regression reasonably predicts salaries in most cases.) The most fairly paid player relative to her on-court performance The most overpaid player relative to her on-court performance The highest-paid player, regardless of her on-court performance The most underpaid player relative to her on-court performance

Sally Sells Sea Shells by the Sea Shore and collects all sales dataNow she is curious to find out what the elasticity of demand is for her shells Assume they are all the same type and quantity She scatter plots the data and finds there is a linear relationship that looks ripe for a regression estimation of the price response function for her shells The slope of her regression line is 61. Currently, her average daily price is 11.74 and she sells 95 quantity at that priceCalculate the point elasticity of demand for her sea shells

Assume that the number of visits by a particular customer to a mall located in downtown Toronto is related to the distance from the customer's home. The following regression analysis shows the relationship between the number of times a customer visits(Y)per month and the distance(X, measured in km) from the customer's home to the mall. \[ Y=15-0.5 X \] A customer who lives30 kmaway from the mall will visi______ who lives10 km away. less times than a customer

Suppose that a researcher, using wage per hour data on 250 randomly selected male workers and 280 female workers, estimates the following OLS regression wage - 12.68+2.79xMale (0.18) (0.84) R = 0.06, s-3.10 where Male is a dummy variable that takes the value 1 if the worker is male and 0 if female: s represents the standard error of the regression and in brackets homoskedastic std errors are reported. The researcher wants to find the gender pay gap as percentage bf the wagé per hour of women. According to this information the gender pay gap on average against women is approximately -22% -25% -38% O-16%
You are interested in how the number of hours a high school student has to work in an outside job has on their GPA. In your regression you want to control for high school standing and so you run the following regression: GPA = 3.4 0.03 * HrsWrk - 0.7 * Frosh - 0.3 * Soph +0.1 * Junior (1.1) (0.013) (0.23) (0.14) (0.08) where HrsWrk is the number of hours the student works per week, and Frosh, Soph, and Junior are dummy variables for the student's class standing. a) If you include a dummy variable for seniors, that would cause a Hint: type one word in each blank. For the rest of questions, type a number in one decimal place. b) The expected GPA of a Sophomore who works 10 hours per week is c) The expected GPA of a Senior who works 10 hours per week is d) If Dom and Sarah work the same number of hours per week, but Dom is a Junior and Sarah is a Freshman. Dom is expected to have a higher GPA than Sarah. e) Suppose you rewrite the regression as: problem. GPA = ₁HrsWrk + ß2Frosh + B2Soph +…
