The tables are different for the treatment and control groups are different. in hm1, standard errors remain the same as adding the covariates. in hm2 when the covariates were added, the standard errors for contact decreased. *7 *yes, adding covariates to the regression as in question 4 reduce the bias, the upward bias of contact was cancel when the variables were added. one of the most is the age for it has most different means. *8 *no, the regression does not eliminate all the bias. he treatment and control groups have a very different means.
