1. Suppose the variables x = commuting distance and y = comuting time are related according to the simple linear regression model with σ = 10. a. If n = 5 observations are made at the x values x₁ = 5, x₂ = 10, x₂ = 15, x₁ = 20, and x₂ = 25, calculate the standard deviations of the five corresponding residuals. b. Repeat part (a) for x, = 5, x, = 10, x₂ = 15, x₁ and x5 = 50. c. What do the results of parts (a) and (b) imply al the deviation of the estimated line from the obse tion made at the largest sampled x value?

Consider a linear regression model for the decrease in blood pressure (mmHg) over a four-week period with muy=2.8+0.8x and standard deviation chi=3.2. The explanatory variable x is the number of servings fruits and vegetables in a calorie-controlled diet. Explain clearly what this slope says about the change in the mean of y for a change in x.

A researcher records age in years (x) and systolic blood pressure (y) for volunteers. They perform a regression analysis was performed, and a portion of the computer output is as follows: ŷ = 4.5+ 14.4x Coefficients (Intercept) x Estimate 4.5 Ho: B₁ = 0 H₁: B₁ > 0 Ho: B₁ = 0 Ha: B₁ <0 14.4 Ho: B₁ = 0 Ha: B₁ #0 Std. Error Test statistic 2.9 4.7 1.55 3.06 P-value Specify the null and the alternative hypotheses that you would use in order to test whether a linear relationship exists between x and y. 0.07 0

The least-square regression line for the given data is y = 0.449x - 30.27. Determine the residual of a data point for which x = 90 and y=10, rounding to three decimal places.

It is known that the linear regression equation: y= -2.88+1.77x, with a coefficient of determination of 0.81. Based on the two information, the correlation coefficient is

This table reports the regression coefficients when the returns of the size-institutionalownership portfolio (columns 1 and 2) returns are regressed on three variables: a constant(column 3), the stock market returns (column 4), and the change of the value weighted discountof the closed end fund industry (column 6). Columns 5 and 7 report the corresponding t-statistics of the coefficient estimates. Note that a t-statistic with an absolute value above 1.96means the coefficient estimate is significantly different from 0 at the 1% level. Column 8reports the R square of the regressions. Column 9 reports the mean institutional ownership ofeach portfolio. The last column reports the F-statistics for a multivariate test of the null                 hypothesis that the coefficient on ΔVWD in the Low (L) ownership portfolio is equal to theHigh (H) ownership portfolio. Two-tailed p-values are in parentheses. 1. What is the main finding of this Table? 2. What is the explanation for…

A linear regression analysis reveals a strong, negative linear relationship between x and y. Which of the following could possibly be the results from this analysis? (A) ŷ 13.1 27.4x, r = 0.85 (B) == 27.4+ 13.1x, r = -0.95 (D) == (C) ŷ 13.1+ 27.4x, r = 0.95 542 385x, r = -0.15 (E) 0.85 0.25x, r = -0.85
