Question 1: What is a control variable in a regression model?
1) the "cause variable" of interest in a study
2) the coefficient on a regressor
3) the dependent variable
4) a regressor included to eliminate omitted variable bias
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 2: What is the base specification in a regression analysis?
1) the simplest specification that includes only one regressor
2) the regression including only control variables as regressors
3) the most complex regression specification you can think of
4) the regression including a core set of regressors, including the variables of primary interest and control variables suggested by theory and/or expert judgement

A real estate developer wishes to study the relationship between the size of home a client will purchase (in square feet) and other variables. Possible independent variables include the family income, family size, whether there is a senior adult parent living with the family (1 for yes, 0 for no), and the total years of education beyond high school for the husband and wife. The sample information is reported below.
