Transcribed Image Text:Exercise 2.4. A private organization PQR was interested in estimating the average amount of
real estate farm loans (in $000) during 1997in the United States. The organization collected
information from 15 states, the real estate (y) and non-real estate (x) farm loans, included in an
SRSWOR sample taken from a list of 50 states and observed the following results:

The average amount of non-real estate farm loans is $878.16 (in $000) for the year 1997 is
known.

(a)Obtain a ratio estimate for the average amount of the real estate farm loans (in S000) during
1997. Develop an estimator of the mean squared error of the ratio estimator and hence deduce
the 95% confidence interval.

Transcribed Image Text:(b) Obtain a regression estimate for the average amount of the real estate farm loans
during 1997. Develop an estimator of the mean squared error of the regression esti-
hence deduce the 95% confidence interval.
(c) Comment on the interval estimates.
