- A statistical program is recommended. An automobile dealer conducted test to determine whether the time needed to complete a minor engine tune-up depends on whether a computerized engine analyzer or an electronic analyzer is used. Because tune-up time varies among compact, intermediate, and full-sized cars, the three types of cars were used as blocks in the experiment. The data (time in minutes) obtained follow. x₂ Analyzer 0 Computerized Electronic Define all variables. Let x₁ = 0 if a computerized analyzer is used, or let x₁ = X3 O Ho: B₁ * 0 H₂: B₁ = 0 0 Compact 1 52 Car 41 Compact Intermediate Full Size Intermediate O Ho: One or more of the parameters is not equal to zero.

- Consider the following population model for household consumption: cons = a + b1 * inc+ b2 * educ+ b3 * hhsize + u where cons is consumption, inc is income, educ is the education level of household head, hhsize is the size of a household. Suppose a researcher estimates the model and gets the predicted value, cons_hat, and then runs a regression of cons_hat on educ, inc, and hhsize. Which of the following choice is correct and please explain why. A) be certain that R^2 = 1 B) be certain that R^2 = 0 C) be certain that R^2 is less than 1 but greater than 0.

We have the following model: (E1) Donate = β0 + β1Income +β2Avg_Gift + β3Edu + u Where: Donate is a dummy variable equal to 1 if the individual makes a donation in response to a social media campaign by our charity organisation, and 0 otherwise Income is the annual household income Avg_Gift is the average value of past donations made by the individual to our charity Educ is the individual's level of education (in years) Our data is a random sample of the population and we have 1,614 observations. You should assume E [u | Income, Avg_Gift, Educ] = 0. Using the information above, please answer the following 3 questions. [i] Referring to Model (E1) above, interpret the coefficient β1. [ii] You know that this model will suffer from heteroskedasticity. Why is this the case? Explain your reasoning. [iii] In your own words, what is heteroskedasticity?arrow_forward
