A regression of the height on a constant and a binary variable (BFemme), which takes a value of one for females and is zero otherwise, yields the following result: $\widehat {\text { Studenth }}$ = 71.0 - 4.84×BFemme , R² = 0.40, SER = 2.0
(0.3)(0.57)
(a)What is the interpretation of the intercept? What is the interpretation of the slope? How tall are females, on average?
(b)Test the hypothesis that females, on average, are shorter than males, at the 1% level.
