I AM STRUGLING WITH THESE QUESTIONS PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THEM

For the residuals derived from Sarah's regression, skewness (S) equals -0.93726 and kurtosis (K) equals 1.561158. Conduct the Jarque-Bera test of normality at α=0.01.

Starting with the following null and alternative hypotheses:

H0= Residuals are normally distributed.
H1= Residuals are not normally distributed.

Question 1 
 

The JB test-statistic is given by  ?

 
Question 2 
 
The χ2 statistic is given by?.  
Question 3
 
  •  A. Since the JB statistic is greater than the χ2 statistic, H0 can be rejected. Therefore the alternative hypothesis is assumed. The residuals are not normally distributed.
  •  B. Since the JB statistic is greater than the χ2 statistic, H0 can be rejected. Therefore the null hypothesis is assumed. The residuals are normally distributed.
  •  C. Since the JB statistic is less than the χ2 statistic, H0 cannot be rejected. Therefore the null hypothesis is assumed. The residuals are normally distributed.
  •  D. Since the JB statistic is less than the χ2 statistic, H0 can be rejected. Therefore the null hypothesis is assumed. The residuals are not normally distributed.

MY ANSWERS
 

1.

The Jarque-Bera test is a goodness-of-fit test to see if the sample data follows normal distribution. The test uses skewness and kurtosis.

JB=n6S2+14K-32

where, denotes skewness, K denotes Kurtosis, denotes the number of observations.

From the given information, 

i. S=-0.93726

ii. K=1.561158

iii. The number of observations is not provided.

Substituting all the values in the stated formula, the JB test statistic can be obtained.

JB=N6(-0.93726)2+14(1.561158)-32

Addiitional Information from part 2

 

Sarah wants to estimate the relationship between individual earnings in the labour market (earn) and years of education achieved (educ). She collects data from a sample of 122 individuals on their monthly salaries (Y), measured in rands, and education levels (X), measured in years of education.

Based on these data, she derives the following estimates:

∑XY=41421943.8
∑X2=15472
∑X=1242
∑Y=3401031
