The administration of a midwestern university commissioned a salary equity study to help establish benchmarks for faculty salaries. The administration utilized the following regression model for annual salary, y : ?(?) β0+β1x ,where ?=0 if lecturer, 1 if assistant professor, 2 if associate professor, and 3 if full professor. The administration wanted to use the model to compare the mean salaries of professors in the different ranks.
a) Explain the flaw in the model.
b)Propose an alternative model that will achieve the administration’s objective.
c) If the global F-test for the model you proposed in 2 is conducted, what would be the value of the numerator degrees of freedom?

Data was collected on their sex (male/female), race (White/non-White), and grade level (9,10,11,12). Researchers realized that the impact of race on consuming alcohol before driving might vary by grade level and decided to fit the following model. Compute the OR of drinking before driving for students who self-reported as Black versus non-Black in the 9th grade, adjusting for gender. Hello, thank you for helping me out with this. I'm just confused about the concept of adjusting for gender in this case.
