Consider the following linear regression model that relates income per capita in thousand dollars of a country i (GDP P Ci), with its percentage of the population in the agricultural sector (P Ai): Model : GDP P Ci = β0 + β1P Ai + ui (a) Explain in words how to interpret parameters β0 and β1. What sign do you think these parameters might have? Explain. (b) Draw the (population) regression line associated with this model assuming that parameters β0 and β1 have the sign you have indicated in answering question (2a). Explain the meaning of this regression line.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is thought to increase the risk of breast cancer. The accompanying data on x = percent of women using HRT and y = breast cancer incidence (cases per
100,000 women) for a region in Germany for 5 years appeared in the paper "Decline in Breast Cancer Incidence after Decrease in Utilization of Hormone Replacement Therapy." The authors of the paper
used a simple linear regression model to describe the relationship between HRT use and breast cancer incidence.

The relationship between yield of maize, date of planting, and planting density was investigated in an article. Let the variables be defined as follows.
y = percent maize yield
x = planting date (days after April 20)
z = planting density (plants/ha)
The following regression model with both quadratic terms where x₁ = x, X₂ = Z, X3 = x² and x4 = 2² provides a good description of the relationship between y and
the independent variables.
y =a +B₁x₁ + B₂X₂ + B3X3+B₁x₁ + e

(b) Use the regression function in Part (a) to determine the mean yield for a plot planted on May 7 with a density of 41,182 plants/ha. (Give the exact
answer.)

Data are provided in the table for a sample of 20 cities. A regression analysis was performed on the data and the results indicated that the interaction model E(y) = B,+ Bx + Bx, + Bx; + B,xqx,+ B;xx; + Bzxzx; was a good model to fit to the data. %3D However, the residual plot for this model indicates that heteroscedasticity may exists for the percentage of families with annual incomes less than R24 000. How do I Conduct a test for heteroscedasticity by dividing the data into two subsamples, x,21 and x, > 21 using MSE for the first subsample = 582.3, MSE for the second subsample = 364.7 and a= 0.05. And how do I explain my conclusion.arrow_forwardThe measure of standard error can also be applied to the parameter estimates resulting from linear regressions. For example, consider the following linear regression equation that describes the relationship between education and wage: WAGEi=β0+β1EDUCi+εi where WAGEi is the hourly wage of person i (i.e., any specific person) and EDUCi is the number of years of education for that same person. The residual εi encompasses other factors that influence wage, and is assumed to be uncorrelated with education and have a mean of zero. Suppose that after collecting a cross-sectional data set, you run an OLS regression to obtain the following parameter estimates: WAGEi=−11.5+6.1 EDUCi If the standard error of the estimate of β1 is 1.32, then the true value of β1 lies between(4.78, 4.12, 3.46, 5.44) and (6.76, 7.42, 8.74) . As the number of observations in a data set grows, you would expect this range to (DECREASE , INCREASE) in size.arrow_forward
- An oil exploration company wants to develop a statistical model to predict the cost of drilling a new well. One of the many variables thought to be an important predictor of the cost is the number of feet in depth that the must be drilled to create the well. Consequently, the company decided to fit the simple linear regression model, where y = cost of drilling the new well (in $thousands) and x = number of feet drilled to create the well. Using data collected for a sample of n=83 wells, the following results were obtained: = 10.5 + 16.20x Give a practical interpretation of the estimate of the slope of the least squares line.
