Hint: Make sure to discuss study’s goal, subjects, and variables in the data.
It was a broad study that chose subjects all over the country and the ECLS gathered information through a survery about each students race, gender, family structure, socioeconomic status, the level or the students parents education and so on.
Hint: A correct answer must have a discussion on a main concept of regression, often called as, “all else being equal”, “controlling for other variables”, or “Ceteris paribus”. The author explained this concept using “the circuit board analogy”.
The article going into depth what regression is and how it works really helped me better understand what is is. The author talks about how regression is the tool that enables an economist to sort out these huge piles of data. A regression analysis shows in the article how that if you measure a children with books and then a child with no books the answer would not mean anything to the study but if you compare children with the number of books they have in there house who are similar but find that one case where they are not alike at all.
Hint: A correct answer must have a discussion on causality versus correlation.
Hint: See page 150.
The article brings up the topic of race between white and black children and that black students out in high academic schools out perform white students in poor school. This topic has a lot to do with the environment of the students in the school. While reading about this in the article at the end of the day no matter what school anyone attends it is still up to the student and how motivated they are to be successful academically.
Hint: For this question, you may need additional information in addition to the assigned reading. You may Google search something like “how does regression control for variables”.
I believe you can control the quality of schools in study by doing more for the school maybe fundraiser for particular clubs or sports teams, show your students that as administrators that you care. I believe getting the kids more active will help them academically, if you are active it is supposed to help you succeed more in school, and the school advertising that I think will help the kids want to get more active and maybe make them want to join a sports team or a club so they start building relationships with people
Something that I took away is that you can really use something like regression in the real world and how I thought it was only use in the economy world or the business world. It can really be effective in education.
