  1. Regression Example Using Pop Quiz Data

  2. Second Pop Quiz • At my former school (Irvine), I gave a “pop quiz” to my econometrics students. • The quiz consisted of 10 questions. • The first five questions were trivia-type questions. • The second five questions tested TV knowledge. • The last question asked students to report GPAs.

  3. First Five Questions • Who is the Secretary of Defense? • Who is the Speaker of the House? • What is the capital of Brazil?

  4. Second Five Questions • On “The Simpsons” Who Owns the Quickie Mart? • On “Malcom in the Middle” what is the name of Malcom’s older brother? • Who recently (not so recent any more) left “The West Wing”? • On “ER” who is the doctor from Croatia? • On “Everybody Loves Raymond” what does Raymond do for a living?

  5. My Favorite Answers • Who is the Speaker of the House: • George Bush • Who is the Croatian from ER: • Toni Kukoc • What is your GPA? • You don’t even want to know.

  6. My Favorite Answers (Cont’d) • What is the capital of Brazil? • Irvine • Who is Malcom’s older Brother? • Justin • Who recently left the West Wing? • Michael J. Fox.

  7. Regression Example • Compute Number Correct for Each Set of 5. • Match Number Correct with Midterm Score • Only Include Those Quizzes with some answers. • See if Number Correct is Correlated with Midterm Performance. • First Five (+), Second Five (-)?
