(a) Interpret the elasticity of cigarette consumption with respect to prices. (b) Does this regression model return the expected sign for this relationship? Explain. (c) Is the independent variable's coefficient statistically significant at a = 0.05? Explain. (d) As you have noticed, both the dependent and independent variables are defined in logs. Does this fact violate the linearity portion of CLRM Assumption I? Explain your answer. (e) A Shapiro-Wilk test on this model's residuals returns a p-value of 0.5329. Given this fact, is CLRM Assumption VII satisfied? Explain.

10. Residual analysis Consider a regression of y on several independent variables, and the resulting predicted values of the dependent variable. The residual for the ith observation Consider a data set for a large sample of professional basketball players. Each observation contains the salary, as well as various performance statistics such as points, rebounds, and assists for each player. Suppose a regression of salary on all performance statistics is run, and the residuals are obtained. The player with the lowest (most negative) resid represents which of the following? (Assume the regression reasonably predicts salaries in most cases.) The most fairly paid player relative to her on-court performance The most overpaid player relative to her on-court performance The highest-paid player, regardless of her on-court performance The most underpaid player relative to her on-court performance
1.1 Which of the following is NOT a good reason for including a disturbance term in a regression equation?/ A. To allow for random influences on the dependent variable/ B. To allow for errors in the measurement of the dependent variable/ C. It captures omitted determinants of the dependent variable D. To allow for the non-zero mean of the dependent variable/ 1.2 Consider the equation Y = B1 + B2X2 + u. A null hypothesis of H0: B2 = 0 means that/ A. X2 has no effect on the expected value of Y / B. B2 has no effect on the expected value of Y/ C. X2 has no effect on the expected value of B2 / D. Y has no effect on the expected value of X2/ 1.3 The OLS residuals in the multiple regression model/ A. can be calculated by subtracting the fitted values from the actual values / B. are zero because the predicted values are another name for forecasted values / C. are typically the same as the population regression function errors / D. cannot be calculated because there…

Which of the following statements about the R-squared statistic of a linear estimation (or linear regression) is true? An R-squared statistic of 0.6 means the variation of the independent (explanatory) variable explains about 60% of the variation of the dependent variable. O An R-squared statistic of 0.6 means 60% the variation of the dependent variable cannot be explained by the variation of the independent (explanatory) variable. O An R-squared statistic of 0.6 means the variation of the dependent variable explains about 60% of the variation of the independent (explanatory) variable.
Consider the IV regression model Yi = β0 + β1Xi + β2Wi + ui, where Xi is correlated with ui and Zi is an instrument. Suppose that the first three assumptions in Key Concept (The IV Regression Assumptions) are satisfied. Which IV assumption is not satisfied whena) Zi is independent of (Yi, Xi, Wi)?b) Zi=Wi?c) Wi is1 for all i?d) Zi=Xi?
Quantile regression (QR) is different from OLS in that: a. QR estimates marginal effects at the mean values of the dependent variables. b. QR does not estimate marginal effects at the mean values of the dependent and independent variables. c. QR minimizes the sum of squared residuals to obtain the coefficient estimates. d. QR only uses the data below the quantile where the quantile regression is being estimated.
Being able to read regression results can help the manager use the information to make right decisions particularly in developing a marketing strategy. Assume that you are interested in finding whether the advertisement has a significant positive effect on sales. Which of the following is correct? A. lower standard errors of the estimates are better than higher standard errors B. as a rule of thumb, you are correct 95 % of the time in concluding that there is a positive and significant relationship between the advertising expenditures and sales if the coefficient attached to advertising expenditure is positive and the “t” value is at least 2 C. there is a positive significant relationship between advertising expenditure and sales if both the lower bound and the upper bound of the confidence interval are positive. D. the R2 shows the proportion of the variation in the sales as explained by the model which consists of the advertising expenditure plus some other determinants of sales…

Which one of the following is NOT an assumption of the classical linear regression model (CLRM)? Select one: a. The disturbance terms are independent of one another. b. The dependent variable is not correlated with the disturbance terms. c. The explanatory variables are uncorrelated with the error terms. d. The disturbance terms have zero mean.
1. You are interested the causal effect of X on Y, B1. Suppose that X, and X2 are uncorrelated. You estimate B1 by regressing Y onto X1 (so that X2 is not included in the regression). Does this estimator suffer from omitted variable bias due to the exclusion of X2? (a) Yes (b) No (c) Maybe 2. Omitted variable bias violates which of the following assumptions: (a) The conditional distribution of u, given X1i X2i, ...Xki has a mean of zero (b) (Xi, X2i...Y;), i = 1, ., n are independently and identically distributed (c) Heteroskedasticity (d) Perfect multicollinearity
