2. Consider the multiple regression model with three independent variables, under the classical linear model assumptions MLR.1 through MLR.6: y=Bo+ Bixi+B2x2 + B3x3 + u. You would like to test the null hypothesis Ho: B1-3ẞ2 = 1. a. Let Band 2 denote the OLS estimators of B1 and B2. Find Var(B₁ - 3B2) in terms of the variances of B₁ and B2 and the covariance between them. What is the standard error of B₁ - 3B2 ? b. Write the t statistic for testing Ho: B1-3ẞ2=1. c. Define B1-3ẞ2 and ₁ = B₁ - 3B2. Write a regression equation involving Bo, 1, B2 and B3 that allows you to directly obtain ₁ and its standard error.

2. Consider the multiple regression model with three independent variables, under the
classical linear model assumptions MLR.1 through MLR.6:
y= Bo+ B1x1 + B2x2 + B3x3 + u.
You would like to test the null hypothesis Ho: B1 - 3ẞ2 = 1.
a. Let B1 and B2 denote the OLS estimators of B1 and B2. Find Var(B₁ - 3B2) in
terms of the variances of B₁ and B2 and the covariance between them. What is the
standard error of B₁ - 3B2 ?
b. Write the t statistic for testing Ho: ẞ1-3ẞ2 = 1.
c. Define B1-3ẞ2 and ₁ = B₁ - 3ẞ2. Write a regression equation involving Bo,
1, B2 and B3 that allows you to directly obtain ₁ and its standard error.
