Solution:
Asymptotic normality means that if more and more probability distributions are drawn from the data, they converge to a normal distribution. Also, it means that as more and more sample is included (as sample size increases), the distribution of a data converges to that of a normal distribution.
Further, since increased and large sample size involved, (b) cannot be correct, hence eliminated.
We are talking about normal distribution and not standard normal distribution such that mean be constant at 0 and variance be sigma squared, hence option (c) eliminated.
Option (d) is not a feature of any distribution in general, thus easily eliminated.
Thus, from all above we can conclude that the correct option is (a) OLS estimators are approximately normally distributed in large enough sample sizes, if they satisfy asymptotic normality.

Which of the following statements is true? (a) If the calculated value of F statistic is higher than the critical value, we reject the alternative hypothesis in favor of the null hypothesis. (b) The F statistic is always nonnegative as SSR, is never smaller than SSRur. (C) Degrees of freedom of a restricted model is always less than the de- grees of freedom of an unre- stricted model. (d) The F statistic is more flexible than the t statistic to...
1. A researcher has just finished a statistical analysis and claims that he found evidence that x affects y positively. Using a 1-tailed test, he found that the estimated coefficient for x is significantly positive at the 5% level, but is not significant at the 4% level. Assume that the classical linear regression assumptions hold. If the researcher used a 2-tailed test instead, what would he have found? a. The estimated coefficient for x is significantly positive at the 2.5%...
