Consider a binary response variable y and an explanatory variable x. The following table contains the parameter estimates of the linear probability model (LPM) and the logit model, with the associated p-values shown in parentheses.
Variable | LPM | Logit | |||
Constant | −0.78 | −5.90 | |||
(0.03 | ) | (0.03 | ) | ||
x | 0.04 | 0.28 | |||
(0.07 | ) | (0.02 | ) | ||
a. Test for the significance of the intercept and
the slope coefficients at the 5% level in both models.

b. What is the predicted probability implied by
the linear probability model for x = 24 and x =
31? (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal
places and final answers to 2 decimal places.)

the logit model for x = 24 and x = 31?
