University of the People

MATH 1281-01 Statistical Inference

Prof. Dr. Casmir Chidiebere (Instructor)

October 23, 2024

The dataset contains the following columns:


 eth: Ethnicity (A = Aboriginal, N = Not Aboriginal)
 sex: Gender (M = Male, F = Female)
 age: Represents some factor on age grouping
 lrn: Learning ability (SL = Slow Learner, AL = Average Learner)
 days: The number of days absent (dependent variable)

To perform the regression analysis in JASP, we would:

1. Convert eth, sex, and lrn into binary variables.


2. Conduct a regression where days is the dependent variable, and eth, sex, and lrn are
explanatory variables.

Since JASP cannot be used in this environment, I will perform the regression using Python and
generate a report for you. Let's first prepare the data and run the regression.

Here are the results of the regression analysis:

 Regression Equation: days = 18.93 – 9.11 x eth + 3.10 x sex + 2.15 x lrn

Where:

 eth = 0 (Aboriginal), eth = 1 (Not Aboriginal)


 sex = 0 (Female), sex = 1 (Male)
 lrn = 0 (Average Learner), lrn = 1 (Slow Learner)

Interpretation of Slopes:

 The coefficient for eth is -9.11. This suggests that being Not Aboriginal decreases the
number of absent days by about 9.11 days compared to being Aboriginal, holding other
variables constant.
 The coefficient for sex is 3.10. This means males tend to have 3.10 more days of
absenteeism than females, holding other variables constant.
  The coefficient for lrn is 2.15. This indicates that slow learners tend to have 2.15
more days of absenteeism compared to average learners.
 Residual for the second observation: -13.19

 Adjusted R-squared: 0.07

 This means that approximately 7% of the variability in absenteeism is explained by the


model. While this is a low value, it indicates that the model has limited explanatory
power.
