Suppose that you run a regression of Y, on X, with 110 observations and obtain an estimate for the slope. Your estimate for the standard error of ₁ is 1. You are considering two different hypothesis tests: The first is a one-sided test: Ho: B1-0, Ha: 31>0, a = .05 The second is a two-sided test: Ho: 31-0, Ha: B1 0,a = .05 (a) What values of , would lead you to reject the null hypothesis in the one-sided test? (b) What values of , would lead you to reject the null hypothesis in the one-sided test? (c) What values of would lead you to reject the mill hypothesis in the one-sided test, but not the two-sided test? (d) What values of 3 would lead you to reject the null hypothesis in the two-sided test, but not the one-sided test?
The first independent variable (Xt2) will be a cubed value of the rate of return on individual companies. Is the inclusion of this variable consistent with the assumptions of the simple linear regression model? Explain your answer b. What is the additional assumption for this time-series model that does not apply to a cross-sectional analysis? c. If you suspected that your dependent variable Y was not stationary, explain the three unit root processes that you could test for. d. What does the letter "t" represent in the model?
The prices of Rawlston, Inc. stock (y) over a period of 12 days, the number of shares (in 100s) of the company's stocks sold (x1), and the volume of exchange (in millions) on the New York Stock Exchange (x2) are shown below. 4. Perform an F test and determine whether independent variable and dependent variable are related. Fully interpret the meaning. Use α = .05 5. Conduct Residual Analysis and fully interpret the meaning. 6. If on a given day, the number of shares of the company that were sold was 94,500 and the volume of exchange on the New York Stock Exchange was 10 million, what would you expect the price of the stock to be?

In running a regression of the retunrs of stock XYZ against the returns on the market, the Std for the returns of stock XYZ is 20% and that of the market returns is 15%. If the estimated beta is found to be 0.75 : What is the correlation between the returns of the stock XYZ and those of the market ?
11. In this same article on sleep duration and start time, researchers also considered whether school start time was related to obtaining an adequate amount of sleep. An adequate amountbof sleep was considered at least 8.5 hours of sleep, as recommended by the National Sleep Foundation. The authors used logistic regression models to associate the probability of adequate sleep to school start time. Here are some adapted logistic regression results from this study: In(odds of adequate sleep) = 6, + B,, where x1 = school start time, measured as the number of minutes after 7 AM that the school starts. For this model, B,-0.014, SE(B,)-0.005. - What Is the estimated odds ratlo of adequate sleep, and 95% CI, for students who start at 8:30 AM compared to those who start at 7:30 AM? a. 1.01 (1.00, 1.02) b. 1.52 (1.13, 2.05) C. 2.32 (1.27, 4.22) d. 4.05 (1.49, 11.02)

A worker with a weight of 65 kg and a body surface area of 1.74 , performs physical work activities in several work environments as shown in the following table. The work activities of these workers require energy and a measured metabolic rate of 400 W/m2. During their work activities, the worker wears a coverall made of polyolefin and wears a headgear (1) Calculate the average WBGT of the work environment. (2) Perform an analysis related to the heat stress experienced by the worker, if the worker performs his work activities for 75% of his total working time and the rest is rest, (note: use TLV from ACGIH and ISO 7243)
