11. You are interested to examine how various factors affect students' Science performance. To this end, you will examine data from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study. This is a large-scale international survey in which Singapore Schools were part of. The stata data file timss.dta, which you will find in LumiNUS (under Files -> Homework -> Homework 1) contains data on student performance in the science test and a variety of student characteristics for a random sample of 3,743 students from Singapore. The variables in the dataset as defined as follows: science_scr is the student's science test score which has been standardized, outhours is the out-ofschool study time per week (in hours), male is a binary variable equal to 1 if the student is male and equal to 0 if female, foreign_bom_student is a binary variable equal to 1 if the student is born outside Singapore and equal to 0 if the student was born in Singapore, englishhomelang is a binary variable equal to 1 if the student speaks English at home and 0 if the student does not speak English at home, age_in_months is the age of the student in months, father_high_educ is a binary variable equal to 1 if the student's father has a tertiary education and 0 otherwise. Use this dataset to answer questions 10 to 20. What is the standard deviation of Science test scores for this sample of students? (1 mark) 14.2 -9.5 x 10'10 0.496 12. What is the average out-of-school study time per week? (1 mark) 12.7 hours 14.2 hours 70 hours 21.8 hours 13_ What is the percentage of students in the sample who have a father with a tertiary education? (1 mark) 12.7% There is insufficient information provided to tell 49.6% / 50.1% 44.0%
