Question

I am working on homework for Chapter 4 (question 7). I am asked to compute the simple correlations among the regressors for matrix X'X. I only have X'X, X'y, and y'y. I have no idea where to even begin here.  I have copy of the question attached. I know the Pearson correlation calculation but don't know how to even determine the nongiven components. 

7. The following sample moments for x = [1, x1, x2, r3] were computed from 100 observations produced
using a random number generator:
100 123
96 109
T 460
123 252 125 189
810
XX =
X'y =
уу — 3924.
96 125 167 146
615
109 189 146 168
712
The true model underlying these data is y = x1 + x2 + x3+E.
a. Compute the simple correlations among the regressors.
b. Compute the ordinary least squares coefficients in the regression of y on a constant r1, x2, and x3.
c. Compute the ordinary least squares coefficients in the regression of y on a constant, 21 and x2, on a
constant, a1 and x3, and on a constant, a2 and a3.
d. Compute the variance inflation factor associated with each variable.
e. The regressors are obviously badly collinear. Which is the problem variable? Explain.
8. Consider the multiple regression of y on K variables X and an additional variable z. Prove that under the
assumptions A1 through A6 of the classical regression model, the true variance of the least squares estimator
of the slopes on X is larger when z is included in the regression than when it is not. Does the same hold for
the sample estimate of this covariance matrix? Why or why not? Assume that X and z are nonstochastic and
that the coefficient on z is nonzero.
