Step 1
In a linear regression model, the dependent variable (Y) is the variable that is being predicted or explained by the independent variable (X). In this case, the researcher wants to predict or explain salary based on years of education. Show more…

Consider the following regression model: wage = β₁ + β₂ * male + β₃ * male * edu + β₄ * edu + u, where wage is the hourly wage measured in dollars; male is a dummy variable for males; edu is the years of education; male * edu is the interaction of male and edu variables. The parameter estimates for β parameters are β₁ = 3.98; β₂ = 1.48; β₃ = 0.37; β₄ = 0.93. What is the predicted marginal effect of years of education for females? Give exact number for the answer. I.e., do not approximate.

6. Data on years of education and average income are presented in the table below. (8 pts) Years of Education: 10, 12, 13, 16, 18, 25 Average Salary: $20,000, $31,000, $32,000, $40,000, $57,000, $74,000, $103,000 a) Assuming a simple linear regression model is appropriate, obtain the least squares fit relating salary to years of education. b) What is the estimate of β2? c) Find the mean salary given that the years of education are 20. d) Calculate the value of y corresponding to x=16. e) Find the corresponding residual.
