4) You have obtained a sub-sample of 1744 individuals from the Current Population Survey (CPS) and are interested in the relationship between weekly earnings and age. The regression, using heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors, yielded the following results: EARN= 239.16 + 5.20×Age , R2 = 0.05, SER = 287.21., (20.24) (0.57) where Earn and Age are measured in dollars and years respectively. (a) Interpret the slope and intercept coefficients and the measure of fit. (b) The average age in this sample is...
