A system consists of two identical pumps, #1 and #2. If one pump fails, the system will still operate. However, because of the added strain, the extra remaining pump is now more likely to fail than was originally the case. That is, r =P(#2 fails | #1fails) >(P#2 fails) =q If at least one pump fails by the end of the pump design life in 9% of all systems and both pumps fail during that period in only 2%, what is the probability that pump #1 will fail during the pump design life? Also, find the value of q and r.

An economist estimates the following regression model:y = β0 + β1x1 + β2x2 + εThe estimates of the parameters b1 and b2 are not very large compared with their respective standard errors. But the size of the coefficient of determination indicates quite a strong relationship between the dependent variable and the pair of independent variables.Having obtained these results, the economist strongly suspects the presence of multicollinearity. Since his chief interest is in the influence of X1 on the dependent variable, he decides that he will avoid the problem of multicollinearity by regressing Y on X1 alone.Comment on this strategy.
3. Consider the following regression model: Weekly Hours = Bo + B1 × Wage + uj Weekly Hours is the average number of hours the individual worked over the course of the year and Wage is the individual's average hourly wage over the course of the year. A researcher who collects data and regresses Weekly Hours against Wage finds that B1 > 0. The OLS estimator, B, however, likely suffers from omitted variable bias because those individuals who earn high wages may be driven personalities who would work long hours no matter the wage. Because of this omitted variable bias, it is likely the case that B1_B1. A) В)

1) You run the following regression: TS = B+B MALE + B MEDU +ß FEDU¸+ u. i 0 1 i 2 i 3 i where: TS - pupil's test score at the end of primary school, MALE - a dummy variable indicating if a child is a male (MALE=1) and equal zero otherwise, MEDU - mother's number of years of education, FEDU - father's number of years of education. You can test if mother's education has the same effect on child's test scores as father's education by: O A. running two t tests for the two hypotheses: B₁=0 and ₁=0. 2 O B. running two t tests for the two hypotheses: O C. running an F test for the hypothesis O D. running an F test for the hypothesis =B 3 ₁= ₂=0 and B₂=0. 2 ₁=B₁₂=B3
