Common Queries on Assignment
General:
What are the relevant lecture topics covered in the final assessment?
This assessment focuses on the relationship between variables. Thus, the relevant lecture topics are: the 2nd half of Topic 9, Topic 10 and Topic 11. You also need skills you learned in Topic 1.
Unlike in assessment 2, hereyouwill NOT separatemale and female workers into 2 sub-samples. The analysis will be done on the entire sample.
Do I need to format a number on Excel that appears in exponential notation?
You don’t have to, but you are more likely to interpret the exponential notation correctly if you convert it to a number.
To convert an exponential notation to a number:
Select the cell with the numbers and right-click on them and click Format Cells
Go to the Number tab and click ok.
For example,
2.00E+05 =2×10^5=200000
2.00E-05 =2×10^(-5)= XXXXXXXXXX ~ 0
Do I need to remove outliers from the dataset?
No, you will not remove outliers.
How do I read t-value from Table E.3/E.4 if the degree of freedom (df) is larger than 120?
For any df>120, read t-values from the last row eg ∞.
Question 5:
What is this question about?
1) compare the magnitude of the gender coefficients from both models;
2) explain why the coefficients are different. How is a simple regression different from a multiple regression? Think about the interpretation of a slope coeff in a multiple regression. What does “keeping everything else constant” mean here when you interpret the slope coeff for “male”? Thinking about how gender wage discrimination is defined, how this slope parameter relates to gender discrimination?
