Suppose that you estimate a multiple regression model using OLS using a sample of 60 observations. The skewness of the residuals is 0.5 and the excess kurtosis is 1. As a result, the value of the Jarque-Bera test is _______ and we ______ reject the null hypothesis of normally distributed disturbances at the 5-percent level of significance. 10; cannot 10; can 5; cannot 5; cannot
8. Suppose that Xi,..., Xn is a sample from a normal population having unknown pa- rameters μ and σ2 a) Devise a significance level α test of the null hypothesis 0 versus the alternative hypothesis for a given positive value σ1. b) Explain how the test would be modified if the population mean μ were known in advance 8.

7. Suppose a data set of 150 observations (N =150) was analyzed using OLS to examine the factors that influence college grade point average (GPA). The regression results are as follows: log(colGPA)=5.5+0.5*hsGPA+0.02*ACT −0.08*skipped. (0.5) (0.1) (0.01) (0.03) where the number in the parenthesis is the corresponding standard error. You want to test the following null hypothesis: the coefficient estimate for ACT=0. What is the t statistic? Suppose the critical value=2.5, would you reject the null hypothesis?

uises 7.64-7.81 ning the Mechanics NW 7.64 Suppose a random sample of 100 observations from a binomial population gives a value of p = .63 and you wish to test the null hypothesis that the population parameter p is equal to 70 against the alternative hypothesis that p is less than .70. a. Noting that Ø = .63, what does your intuition tell you? Does the value of p appear to contradict the null hypothesis? b. Use the large-sample z-test...
