Suppose that you would like to study the relationship between weight (in lbs) and the following characteristics: marital status (variable married takes value 1 if married and spouse is present in the household, 2 if I if married but the spouse is not present in the household, 3 Widowed, 4 Divorced, 5 Separated, 6 never married), education (in years), age (in years), sex (variable female takes values 1 if female and otherwise), a region of living (variable region takes values 1 if northeast, 2 if Midwest,3 if south, 4 if west), and race (variable takes values 1 if white, if 2 black, 3 if Hispanic, 4 if other). Below is the table with the estimates. 1. How many regressions did I estimate? II. Write the estimated regression as an equation for column (3)? III. Interpret all coefficients in column (4)? IV. Is the effect of being married without a spouse in the household on weight statistically different than 0? V. Is the effect of living in the west on weight statistically different than 5? -6.71 0.45 Table 1.
