Question
![Suppose the conditional mean function is
Y = Bo + BiX + B2X² + B3X3 + U
%3D
where E[U]X]3D0. By mistake, a researcher omitted X^2 and X^3 terms in the
regression and ran regression of Y on X and an intercept only. It turns out that
covariance between X and B2X2 + B3X° is nonzero. Is the OLS estimator
researcher computed consistent for beta 1?
Yes, since the omitted variables are just functions of X.
Yes, since the covariance between X and B2X2 + B3X is nonzero
No, since the covariance between X and B2X4 + B3X° is nonzero
No, since the omitted variables are negligibly small.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/87f36e2f-e984-4a33-847a-7152589a4339/6926eee4-e345-4af7-9e66-22f0e5e02592/i26ly8l_thumbnail.jpeg)

- The table below gives the number of hours seven randomly selected students spent studying and their corresponding midterm exam grades. Using this data, consider the equation of the regression line, yˆ=b0+b1xy^=b0+b1x, for predicting the midterm exam grade that a student will earn based on the number of hours spent studying. Keep in mind, the correlation coefficient may or may not be statistically significant for the data given. Remember, in practice, it would not be appropriate to use the regression line to make a prediction if the correlation coefficient is not statistically significant.
