Question

There are 2 DIFFERENT Problems that need to be worked out.

Problem 1

Consider a linear regression model where y represents the response variable and x and d are the explanatory variables; d is a dummy variable assuming values 0 or 1. A model with the dummy d and the interaction xd variables is estimated as y-hat = 4.5 + 0.95x + 1.5d + 0.22xd.

a.

Compute y-hat for x = 10 and d = 1. (Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places and final answer to 1 decimal place.)

  y-hat

  

b.

Compute y-hat for x = 10 and d = 0. (Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places and final answer to 1 decimal place.)

  y-hat

  

Problem 2

Using 20 observations, the following regression output is obtained from estimating y = 0 + 1x + 2d + 3xd + .

a.

Compute y-hat for x = 10 and d = 1; then compute y-hat for x = 10 and d = 0. (Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places and final answers to 2 decimal places.)

Consider a linear regression model where y represents the response variable and x and d are the explanatory variables; d is a dummy variable assuming values 0 or 1. A model with the dummy d and the interaction xd variables is estimated as y-hat = 4.5 + 0.95x + 1.5d + 0.22xd.

Explanation / Answer

sOLUTIONa:

y-hat = 4.5 + 0.95x + 1.5d + 0.22xd

x=10 and d=1

y hat= 4.5 + 0.95*10+ 1.5*1 + 0.22*10*1

yhat=17.7

ANSWER:17.7

b.

Compute y-hat for x = 10 and d = 0. (Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places and final answer to 1 decimal place.)

y-hat = 4.5 + 0.95x + 1.5d + 0.22xd

x=10 and d=0

y-hat= 4.5 + 0.95*10+ 1.5*0 + 0.22*10*0

y-hat=14

ANSWER:14

b.

Compute y-hat for x = 10 and d = 0. (Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places and final answer to 1 decimal place.)

y-hat = 4.5 + 0.95x + 1.5d + 0.22xd

x=10 and d=0

y-hat= 4.5 + 0.95*10+ 1.5*0 + 0.22*10*0

y-hat=14

ANSWER:14
