A subsample from the Current Population Survey is taken, on weekly earnings of
individuals, their age, and their gender.You have read in the news that women make 70
cents to the $1 that men earn.To test this hypothesis, you first regress earnings on a
constant and a binary variable, which takes on a value of 1 for females and is 0 otherwise.
The results were: $$\widehat { \text { Earn } } = 570.70 - 170.72 \times \text { Female } , R ^ { 2 } = 0.084 , S E R = 282.12$$ (a)There are 850 females in your sample and 894 males.What are the mean earnings of
males and females in this sample? What is the percentage of average female income to
