A researcher used stepwise regression to create regression models to predict birthrate( births per 1,000) using five predictors: lifeExp (life expectancy in years), infMort (infant mortality rate), Density (population density per square Kilometers), GDP Cap (gross Domestic Product per capita), and Literate (Literacy percent). Interpret these results.

4. An expert witness in case of alleged racial discrimination in a state university school of nursing introduced a regression of the determinants of salary of each professor for each year during an 8 year period (n=423) with the following results, with dependent variable year (year in which the salary was observed) and predictors YearHire (year when the individual was hired), race (1 if individual is black, 0 otherwise), and Rank (1if individual is an assistant professor, 0 otherwise). Interpret these results.
