Adela García-Aracil (2007) identified how several factors affected the earnings of young European higher education graduates. Based on data from several EU (European Union) countries, her statistical models included the following variables: annual income (actual dollars), gender (male or female), the number of hours worked per week (actual hours), and years of education (actual years) for each graduate. She also identified each graduate by current job title (senior officials and managers, professionals, technicians, clerks, or service workers).
1. What is García-Aracil’s dependent variable?
2. Identify two independent variables in her research. Identify the level of measurement for each.
3. Based on her research, García-Aracil can predict the annual income for other young graduates with similar work experiences and characteristics like the graduates in her sample. Is this an application of descriptive or inferential statistics? Explain.
