Exercise 9

Use the data set in BEAUTY.RAW, which contains a subset of the variables (but more usable observations than in the regressions) reported by Hamermesh and Biddle (1994).

(i) Find the separate fractions of men and women that are classified as having above average looks. Are more people rated as having above average or below average looks?

(ii) Test the null hypothesis that the population fractions of above-average-looking women and men are the same. Report the one-sided p-value that the fraction is higher for women. (Hint: Estimating a simple linear probability model is easiest.)

(iii) Now estimate the model
