question 2

Multiple Choice

An elections officer wants to model voter turnout (y) in a precinct as a function of type of election, national or state.

Write a model for mean voter turnout, E(y) , as a function of type of election.

• A) \(E ( y ) = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta 1 ^ { x }\), where \(x = 1\) if national, 0 if state
• B) \(E ( y ) = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 } x\), where \(x =\) voter turnout
• C) \(E ( y ) = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 } x _ { 1 } + \beta _ { 2 } x _ { 2 }\), where \(x _ { 1 } = 1\) if national, 0 if not and \(x _ { 2 } = 1\) if state, 0 if not
• D) \(E ( y ) = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 } x + \beta _ { 2 } x ^ { 2 }\), where \(x =\) voter turnout
