Question 2: Use the data given in Excel: lecture 6 data file - Sheet named Ex Q2. The given data on average public teacher pay (annual salary in dollars) and spending on public schools per pupil (dollars) in 1985 for 50 states and the District of Columbia. To find out if there is any relationship between teacher's pay and per pupil expenditure in public schools, the following model was suggested: Payi = Bo+ B1 Spendi + ui, where Pay stands for teacher's salary and Spend stands for per pupil expenditure. a. Apply OLS by using LINEST function to estimate the parameters. Page 1 of 3 b. Plot the data and the regression line on the same sketch. c. Point out the estimators' standard errors, r, RSS, and ESS. d. Interpret the regression. Does it make economic sense? e. Test the hypothesis that the slop parameter equals to 3 at level of confidence 5% and then at 1%.
