    Smoking one additional cigarette per day reduces a baby's birth weight by 0.44%, while smoking 10 more cigarettes reduces it by 4.4%. White babies are expected to weigh 5.5% more than nonwhite babies. One additional year of the mother's education increases the baby's birth weight by 0.3%, though this effect is small and not statistically significant. To perform an F-test on the models, they must use the same sample of 1191 observations to account for missing data on parental education in the unrestricted model.

    (i)

    One more cigarette smoked per day reduces the baby’s birth weight by 0.44%, holding other factors
    fixed. Or, the birth weight drops by 4,4% from smoking 10 more cigarettes daily.
    (ii)
    A white child is expected to weigh 5.5% more than a nonwhite child, holding other factors in the first
    model fixed. The difference is statistically significant at the 1% level with a t-statistic of 4.20.
    (iii)
    One more year of the mother’s education increases the baby’s birth weight by 0.3%, holding other factor
    fixed. The effect is practically small. It is not statistically significant at any conventional level (t = -1.00, p-
    value = 0.317)
    (iv)
    If we want to perform the F-test, we should use the same sample in the restricted and the unrestricted
    models. The unrestricted models has fewer observations, probably because of missing data on parents’
    education. We will have to reestimate the restricted model using the same 1191 observations as in the
    unrestricted models.
