2. Cinthia Kishore, Pavitri's research mentor, suggests to her that any association between education and hourly wage may be a spurious byproduct of occupational prestige; people with access to higher levels of education also often have the opportunity to select more prestigious careers, creating an association between education and hourly wages that is not causal. To test this argument, interpret Model 2 of the table above. a. Write out the regression equation implied in the results for Model 2. b. Predict the hourly wage for someone with 14 years of education and an occupational prestige score of 62. C. Interpret the meaning of the constant in Model 2. d. Interpret the slope coefficient for the effect of Education in Model 2 e Interpret the slope coefficient for the effect of Occupational Prestige in Model 2. f. Interpret the coefficient of multiple determination in Model 2 8 Do these results support the argument that the association between hourly wages and years of education is spurious? Explain your answer.
