       Let math10 denote the percentage of students at a Michigan high school receiving a passing score on a standardized math test (see also Ex 4.2).  We are interested in estimating the effect of per student spending on math performance.  A simple model is

i)       You need to be “poor” to be in the federally funded student lunch program.
ii)      Because lnchprg is negatively correlated with log(expend).  It is significant.
iii)    Yes
iv)      Math10 would decrease by 3.24% if lunch program increase by 10%.
v)       It’s a good predictor variable because R-squared is increasing.

9.4

(i)
Tvhours= tvhours*+e0
(ii)
It’s not likely to hold in the example, because if the tvhours=0 then they would be reported as zero
So the error depends on the actual tvhours
