Suppose a researcher, using wage data on 250 randomly selected male workers and 280 female workers, estimates the OLS regression: wage (est) = 12.52 + 2.12 * Male, R^2 = 0.06, SER = 4.2, (0.23) (0.36) where Wage is measured in dollars per hour and Male is a binary variable that is equal to 1 if the person is a male and 0 if the person is a female. Define the wage-gender gap as the difference in mean earnings between men and women.

a) What is the estimated gender gap?

b) Is the estimated gender gap significantly different from 0? (Compute the p-value for testing the null hypothesis that there is no gender gap.)

c) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the gender gap.

d) In the sample, what is the mean wage of women? What is the mean wage of men?

A researcher at a medical college conducted a study of 60 randomly selected male soccer players and concluded that frequently "heading" the ball in soccer lowers players' IQs. The soccer players were divided into two groups, based on whether they averaged 10 or more headers per game. Mean IQs were reported in the article, but the sample sizes and standard deviations were not given. Suppose that these values were as given in the accompanying table. n Sample Mean Sample sd...
