Question

I estimate a multiple regression based on the following variables. The dependent variable is student test scores. The independent variables are mother’s education and father’s education, each measured in years, and the sex of the child, coded 0 if male and 1 if female. I obtain the following regression results:

Scores | Coef. Std. Err. --------------------+--------------------------

mom_ed | 4.000 1.0000

dad_ed | 2.000 .02500

sex | -5.000 1.0000

_cons | 20.000 2.000

What is the z score for dad_ed?

impossible to calculate

60

100

40

80

20

Explanation / Answer

Z score for dad_ed = Coefficient/Standard error
