Detailed interviews were conducted with over 1,000 street vendors in the city of Puebla, Mexico, in order to study the factors influencing vendors' incomes (World Development, Feb. 1998). Vendors were defined as individuals working in the street, and included vendors with carts and stands on wheels and excluded beggars, drug dealers, and prostitutes. The researchers collected data on gender, age, hours worked per day, annual earnings, and education level. A subset of these data appear in the table on page 574
a. Write a first-order model for mean annual earnings, Eb), as a function of age (x1) and hours worked (x2).
b. The model was fit to the data using STATISTIX. Find the least squares prediction equation on the printout shown below.
c. Interpret the estimated ß coefficients in your model.
d. Is age x1 a statistically useful predictor of annual earnings? Test using a = .01
e. Construct a 99% confidence interval for ß2. Interpret the interval in the words of the problem.
