PMAP 4041: Problem Set 3 Grading: This assignment is worth a total of 34 points (5% of your overall grade). Question 1: Please answer the following questions based on the information in Table 1. Table 1 shows the regression with grade and a set of dummy variables representing people’s race. Race would be five values: whites, Asians, blacks, Hispanic, and Indians. Table 1 Coefficientsa Model Unstandardized Coefficients Standardized Coefficients t Sig. B Std. Error Beta 1 (Constant) 10.082 .121 83.238 .000 asian -.437 .599 -.022 -.730 .466 black -2.168 .275 -.245 -7.880 .000 hispanic -1.144 .482 -.073 -2.371 .018 indian -1.847 .802 -.071 -2.304 .021 a. Dependent Variable: grade 1. What is the regression equation (2 points) 2. What is the reference group? (2 points) 3. Interpret the y-intercept (2 points) 4. Interpret the regression coefficient on Hispanic (2 points) 5. Interpret the regression coefficient on Asian (2 points) Question 2: Please answer the following questions based on the information in Table 2. Male is coded with 1 = male and 0 = female; white is coded with 1= white, and 0 = racial/ethnic minorities. Table 2 Coefficientsa Model Unstandardized Coefficients Standardized Coefficients t Sig.
