Question
Below are the results of two separate regressions are shown (for women and men separately). “Gender” is a dummy variable that measures sex (0 = male; 1 = female). The dependent variable “CGPA” stands for one’s College Grade Point Average and measures one’s study performance on a scale from 2.5 (minimum score) to 4.0 (maximum score). “WatchTV” is a variable that indicates how many minutes per day a person typically spends watching TV.
View the standard error (“Std. Error”) of the b coefficient of “WatchTV”. What does this number tell you?
- TRUE: The SE(b) indicates the dispersion of the estimated effect of watching TV (X) on study performance (Y), if we were to take multiple samples.
- FALSE: The SE(b) indicates the estimated value of Y (study performance), if X (TV watching) takes the value 0.
- FALSE: The SE(b) indicates the extent to which the significance level used differs from the estimated effect of watching TV (X) on study performance (Y).
- FALSE: The SE(b) indicates the estimated effect of watching TV (X) on study performance (Y) is, if we apply a standard correction for the systematic measurement errors of variables X and Y.
