Question: Using the data in SLEEP 7 5 . RAW, we obtain the estimated equation:maleageageedutotwrksleep 7 5 . 8 7 1 2 8 . 7 0
Using the data in SLEEPRAW, we obtain the estimated equation:maleageageedutotwrksleep
n RR
The variable sleep is total minutes per week spent sleeping at night, totwrk is total weekly
minutes spent working, edu and age are measured in years, and male is a gender dummy.
a All other factors being equal, is there evidence that men sleep more than women? How
strong is the evidence?
b Is there a statistically significant tradeoff between working and sleeping? What is the
estimated tradeoff?
c What other regressions do you need to run to test the null hypothesis that, holding other
factors fixed, age has no effect on sleeping?
The following equations were estimated using the data in BWGHTRAW:whitemaleparitycfacigsbwght minloglog

where bwght is the birth weight in pounds, cigs denote average number of cigarettes the
mother smoked per day during pregnancy, parity is the birth order of this child, faminc
denotes annual family income, motheduc denotes years of schooling for the mother, and
fatheduc is the number of years of schooling for the father. We have added a dummy
