of males Before proceeding with determining a difference, and cause and effect linear relationship between these two variables, it is important to note that any individual outliers must be eliminated from the data set before a multiple linear regression is performed. The existence of such outliers in a model could skew the resulting linear relationship. The performance of successive stem and leaf box plots revealed the existence of 6 outliers. These outliers were then removed from the sample

Regression Analysis: Basic Concepts Allin Cottrell∗ 1 The simple linear model Suppose we reckon that some variable of interest, y, is ‘driven by’ some other variable x. We then call y the dependent variable and x the independent variable. In addition, suppose that the relationship between y and x is basically linear, but is inexact: besides its determination by x, y has a random component, u, which we call the ‘disturbance’ or ‘error’. Let i index the observations on the data pairs (x, y). The

Chapter 3: Answers to Questions and Problems 1. a. When P = $12, R = ($12)(1) = $12. When P = $10, R = ($10)(2) = $20. Thus, the price decrease results in an $8 increase in total revenue, so demand is elastic over this range of prices. b. When P = $4, R = ($4)(5) = $20. When P = $2, R = ($2)(6) = $12. Thus, the price decrease results in an $8 decrease total revenue, so demand is inelastic over this range of prices. c. Recall that total revenue is maximized at the point where demand is unitary elastic
