Let B, denote the present value random variable for a continuously increasing contingent payment contract with benefit b, for failure at time t. Given also that v (1+.10r) and the PDF of T, the random variable for time of failure, is given by f(t)-.02 for 0SIS 50, find the variance of B. = 1+.10r %3D

Let S1^2 be the sampling variance for a random sample of twelve values (amount of mercury in the blood) and let S2^2 be the sampling variance for a random sample of ten values (amount of lead in the blood); samples from the same population were used. The population variance for mercury measurements is assumed to be twice the corresponding population variance for lead measurements. We will further assume that S1^2 is independent of S2^2. 1. Find a number b such that P [(S1^2/S2^2)<=b]=0.95 enter such a b to three decimal places b= 2. Consider the number b calculated above, find a number a such that P[a<=(S1^2/S2^2)<=b]=0.90 enter said a to three decimal places. a=

We are researching the charity donation behaviour of Australians. We have the following model: (E1) Donate = β0 + β1Income +β2Avg_Gift + β3Edu + u Where: Donate is a dummy variable equal to 1 if the individual makes a donation in response to a social media campaign by our charity organisation, and 0 otherwise Income is the annual household income Avg_Gift is the average value of past donations made by the individual to our charity Educ is the individual's level of education (in years) Our data is a random sample of the population and we have 1,614 observations. You should assume E [u | Income, Avg_Gift, Educ] = 0. Using the information above, please answer the following 3 questions. [i] Referring to Model (E1) above, interpret the coefficient β1. [ii] You know that this model will suffer from heteroskedasticity. Why is this the case? Explain your reasoning. [iii] In your own words, what is heteroskedasticity?
