Sir Francis Galton, a cousin of James Darwin, examined the relationship between the height of children and their parents towards the end of the 19th century. It is from this study that the name "regression" originated. You decide to update his findings by collecting data from 110 college students, and estimate the following relationship: Studenth=19.6+ 0.73x Midparh, R²=0.45, SER=2.0 (7.2) (0.10) where Studenth is the height of students in inches, and Midparh is the average of the parental heights. Values in parentheses are heteroskedasticity robust standard errors. (Following Galton's methodology, both variables were adjusted so that the average female height was equal to the average male height.) For the following questions except (d), type your answers in two decimal places. (a) If we test for the statistical significance of the slope coefficient, the relevant f-statistic is f = (b) Construct a 95% confidence interval for a one inch increase in the average of parental height: ( (c) The prediction for the height of a child whose parents have an average height of 70.06 inches is (d) The model explains percent of the variation in the height of students. Hint: type an integer. inches.

Why can we not use first differences when we have independent cross sections in two years (as opposed to panel data)?
In a study aimed at creating reference values, abdominal circumference (measured in cm) was measured in adult men. It was found that the relationship to age could be described as abdominal circumference = 82 + 0.3 x age a) What is the analysis that produces such a formula called? b) At what age is the average abdominal circumference 100 cm?
1. A study published in 1993 used US state panel data to investigate the relationshipbetween minimum wage and the employment of teenagers. The sample period was1977 to 1989 for all 50 states. The author estimated a model of the following type:ln(Eit) = β0 + β1ln(Mit/Wit) + γ2D2i + ... + γnD50i + δ2B2t + ... + δTB13t + uitwhere E is the employment to population ratio of teenagers, M is the nominalminimum wage, and W is average hourly earnings in manufacturing. In addition,other explanatory variables, such as the adult unemployment rate, the teenagepopulation share, and the teenage enrollment rate in school, were included.(a) Name some of the factors that might be picked up by time and state fixedeffects(b) The author decided to use eight regional dummy variables instead of the 49state dummy variables. What is the implicit assumption made by the author?Could you test for its validity? How?(c) The results, using time and region fixed effects only, were as follows:ˆ ln(EIT ) =…

The Drell Yan process is the production of charged lepton pairs in hadron-hadron collisions, It takes place when a quark from one hadron and an anti-quark from another hadron annihilate to produce a sinigle virtual photon, which subsequently produces a pair of oppositely charged leptons. Estimate the ratio of the Drell-Yan cross-sections o(w*n -u")/o(x*p-+u*). Choose 1 option.
