Question
9. Bivariate regression [3 points] In the 2015 Canadian Election Study individuals indicted their attitudes toward Muslim people using a 100 point feeling thermometer (0-rdally dislike, 100-really like). They were also asked: "People have different reactions to a sudden, loud noise, like a door slamming shut. Some people have a big reaction. Others don't react much at all. Do you notice that your reactions to sudden loud noises are bigger than average [2], about the same as average [1], or smaller than average [0j?" (Note: numbers in square brackets indicate the numeric value assigned to these responses). muslim_ feel I Coef. Std. Err reaction|9463862 49674921.91 0.084 cons52.16813 .8630653 60.45 0.000 a.

Result:
The regression line is
Muslim_feel = 52.16813+0.9463862*reaction
a). when who have a smaller than average,
predicted Muslim feel =52.16813+0.9463862*0
=52.16813
b).
when who have a bigger than average,
predicted Muslim feel =52.16813+0.9463862*2
= 54.0609024
c). we conclude that more the reaction, more the response feel toward Muslims.
The relation is positive, but the relation is not statistically significant.
