1. Consider the following simple regression model: y = β0 + β1x1 + u (1) and the following multiple regression model: y = β0 + β1x1 + β2x2 + u (2), where x1 is the variable of primary interest to explain y. Which of the following statements is correct? a. When drawing ceteris paribus conclusions about how x1 affects y, with model (1), we must assume that x2, and all other factors contained in u, are uncorrelated with x1. b....
Which of the following statements concerning sampling is false? (1) The Central Limit Theorem is very important for statistical inference. (2) The standard error of an estimator is the standard deviation of a statistic. (3) Regardless of the sample size n, if the population distribution is normal then the sampling distribution of ī will be exactly normal. (4) If the sampled population is uniform then the sampling distribution of ī is also approximately uniform.

Question 2: Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false and explain concisely why. 1. The Frisch-Waugh-Lovell theorem states that in a multiple linear re- gression Y = Bo + B1X1 + B2X2 +B3X3 +34X. +U, the estimate 31 we get for B1 is what we would have obtained by regressing Y on the part of Xị that has nothing to do with X2, X3, X4, and U. 2 2. In a OLS output ý=.5+1.2log(2), the slope...

4. (10 marks) Classify each statement by circling TRUE or FALSE. i) A scatterplot is not an attribute. TRUE FALSE ii) An unbiased estimator is always preferable to a biased estimator. TRUE FALSE iii) The observed significance level measures evidence against the null hypothesis. TRUE FALSE iv) The Horvitz-Thompson estimator is unbiased given a probability sampling design. TRUE FALSE v) When sampling with replacement the sample average is a Horvitz-Thompson estimate. TRUE FALSE vi) We can quantify the sampling error...
Consider the following regression model: Xi = Bo + Bixi + y; where yi is individual i's University GPA and xi is the individual's high school grades. a. What do you think is in ui? Do you think E[ulx) = 0? Suggest a variable that you think might affect University GPA that isn't included in the regression equation but should be. c. What sign of bias would you expect in an OLS regression of y on x? Briefly explain. d....

1- (i) For populations scattered in a wide area, the preferred technique for sampling is cluster sampling. (ii) If the population can be divided into homogeneous subgroups, stratified random sampling is the best sampling method to use. (iii) If every k-th item in the population sequence is selected, you are using systematic random sampling. 2- i. If a population is not normally distributed, the sampling distribution of the sample means tends to approximate a normal distribution. ii. The Central Limit...
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...
