Bowie State University athletic department wants to develop its budget for the coming year, using a forecast for football attendance. Football attendance accounts for the largest portion of the University revenues. The new President of the university who is also a football fan has asked the athletic director to come up with strategies in promoting the university football team. The athletic director believes that attendance is directly related to the number of wins by the team. Instead of attempting to predict attendance based on only one variable (wins), the athletic department has included a second variable for advertising and promotional expenditures as well. The university president is anxious to know the result of this forecast to determine strategies that improve attendance and boost revenues for the University. The business manager of the BSU football team has accumulated total annual attendance figures for the past 8 years:  

Given the number of returning starters and the strength of the schedule, the athletic director believes the team will win at least seven games next year. He wants to develop a multiple regression equation for these data to forecast attendance for this level of success.

Discussion questions

1 Given that Attendance as the dependent variable and Wins and Promotion as independent variables, use excel to estimate the relationship between attendance and promotion and wins. (Copy results and paste).

2 What is the strength of this relationship? Use the coefficient of determination R squared from the excel output to describe this relationship.

3 Is the relationship significant? Use the “Fisher significance” from the excel output to determine this. Begin by stating the null and the alternate hypotheses

If a war broke out abroad, it would affect the U.S. economy in many ways.

Use the model of Small Closed and Small open economy to examine each of the following effects of such a war.

What happens to savings, investment, the trade balance, the interest rate, and the exchange rate? (To keep things simple, consider each of the following effects separately.)

a) The U.S. government, fearing it may need to enter the war, increases its purchases of military equipment.

b) Other countries raise their demand for high-tech weapons, a major export of the US.

c) The war makes US firms uncertain about the future, and the firms delay some investment projects.

d) The war makes US consumers uncertain about the future, and the consumers save more in response.

e) Americans become apprehensive about traveling abroad, so more of them spend their vacations in the US.

f) Foreign investors seek a safe haven for their portfolios in the University States

1. A psychologist has developed a personality test on which scores can range from 0 to 200. The mean score of well-adjusted people is 100. It is assumed that the less well-adjusted an individual is, the more the individual’s score will differ from the mean value. The Dean of Students at XYZ University is interested in discovering whether the students at XYZ are well-adjusted, on average. Fifteen students are randomly sampled. Their scores are: 80, 60, 120, 140, 200, 70, 30, 180, 70, 150, 20, 50, 170, 90, 130.
   1. Estimate the magnitude of the effect using Cohen’s d. What does your number mean?
   2. Construct the 95% confidence interval to estimate mean adjustment. State the outcome in English.
   3. In what way is the question tested in this problem not a sensible question?

According to a report, the proportion of Lancaster University students who reported insufficient rest or sleep during each of the preceding 30 days is

8.0%, while this proportion is 8.8% for University of Cumbria students. These data are based on simple random samples of 11,545 Lancaster and 4,691 Cumbria students.

(a) Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of Lancaster and Cumbria students who are sleep deprived and interpret it in the context of the data.

(b) Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if these data provide strong evidence the rate of sleep deprivation is different for the two Universities. (Reminder: Check conditions.)

(c) It is possible the conclusion of the test in part (b) is incorrect. If this is the case, what type of error was made?

#1. Impact Evaluation

   In the move to online instruction due to COVID-19, Development University was concerned that its students may not have the technology they needed at home to keep up with their classes. In order to address this issue, at the start of the term, the University offered all students coupons for a 50% price discount on a new iPad. The hope was that the iPad would allow students to participate more fully in their online classes, and therefore allow them to learn more.

    Development University heard that you have learned how to do impact evaluation in your economics classes, so asked you to evaluate how well the iPads worked for their students. In particular, they wanted to know if the iPads caused student grades to improve. In looking at the data, you notice that although all students were offered the coupon, only half of them purchased an iPad through the program. Therefore, you decide to compare the average GPAs of students who purchased an iPad to those who didn't. You find that students who purchased an iPad had an average GPA of 3.4, and students who did not purchase an iPad had an average GPA of 3.1.

1) Due to your concerns, Development University decides to conduct a randomized control trial with incoming students in the fall. That is, incoming students are randomly assigned to either receive a coupon for a discounted iPad, or to not receive a coupon.

Will this research design allow you to estimate the true Average Treatment Effect of iPads on student performance? Why or why not?

2) In three sentences or less, briefly describe one concern you may still have with this randomized design.
