Sir Francis Galton, a cousin of James Darwin, examined the relationship between the height of children and their parents towards the end of the 19th century. It is from this study that the name "regression" originated. You decide to update his findings by collecting data from 110 college students, and estimate the following relationship:
studenth = 19.6 + 0.73 × Midparh, R2 = 0.45, SER = 2.0
(7.2) (0.10)
where Studenth is the height of students in inches, and Midparh is the average of the parental heights. Values in parentheses are heteroskedasticity robust standard errors. (Following Galton's methodology, both variables were adjusted so that the average female height was equal to the average male height.)
(a) Test for the statistical significance of the slope coefficient.
(b) If children, on average, were expected to be of the same height as their parents, then this would imply two hypotheses, one for the slope and one for the intercept. Test the hypothesis.
(i) Can you reject the null hypothesis that the regression R^2 is zero?
(ii) Construct a 95% confidence interval for a one inch increase in the average of parental height.

Mr. James, president of Daniel-James Financial Services,
believes that there is a relationship between the number of client
contacts and the dollar amount
of sales. To document this assertion, he gathered the following
information from a sample of clients for the last month. Let X
represent the number of times that the client was contacted and Y

A cross-sectional study examined children
between the ages of 1 and 17 to determine the prevalence of asthma
and of indoor environmental risk factors for childhood asthma. Data
was collected by questionnaires, which were completed by each
child's primary caretaker. Having a smoker in the household was
found to be a significant risk factor for childhood asthma. The
following 2X2 table illustrates the study findings related to this
risk factor.

An epidemiologic study in Belgium examined the relationship
between daily sunlight exposure and the development of cataracts in
8,000 individuals. The results of the study were as follows: OR =
1.9 (95% CI = 1.2 to 4.6). After controlling for vitamin E intake,
a possible protective factor, the ORMH was 3.6 (95% CI = 1.3 to
5.1). Failure to control for Viramin E led to which of the
following in the above study?
A. Negative Confounding
B. Selection Bias
C....

Is there a positive relationship between grit and GPA in high
school seniors? A researcher examined this issue by having students
beginning their senior year of high school complete a grit
inventory using a Likert-based scale (range 1 – 7), where higher
numbers indicate more “grit”. GPA was self-reported (scale 0 –
4.0). Enter the data shown here into SPSS to assess whether there
is a positive relationship between grit and GPA.
