QUESTION 1 In the SLR model, suppose the dependent variable (Y) represents the quantity consumed of apples in a particular area in tones, and the explanatory variable (X1) is the average price of apples in that area in £. If this model is estimated by OLS, then the estimated slope b1_hat, represents:   by how many tones consumption of apples will change, if the average price of apples increases by £1 the predicted change in the consumption of apples (in kilos), if the average price of apples increases by £1 the predicted change in the price of apples (in £), if consumption of apples increases by 1 tone by how many tones consumption of apples is predicted to change, for a £1 increase in the average price of apples     QUESTION 2 Suppose in the SLR model, the dependent variable (Y) represents 'the price of a house in £1,000', and the explanatory variable (X1) represents ‘the number of rooms in the house’. The estimated regression model is: Yhat =51.45 + 7.45*X1. According to this model, what is the predicted increase in the price of a house, if we add three rooms to a house?   £73800 £7450 £22350 £7.45     QUESTION 3 Suppose you have an SLR model with the sample mean of the dependent variable (Y) being equal to 13.4, the sample mean of the explanatory variable (X1) being equal to 22.5, and the OLS estimate for the slope coefficient (b1_hat) being equal to 0.25. What is the value of the OLS estimate for the intercept (b0_hat) in this model?   We cannot calculate it with the information provided It is 7.775 It is 19.025 It is 19.15

Question

The Simple Linear Regression model is

 

Y = b0 + b1*X1 + u

 

and the Multiple Linear Regression model with k variables is:

 

Y = b0 + b1*X1 + b2*X2 + ... + bk*Xk + u

 

Y is the dependent variable, the X1, X2, ..., Xk are the explanatory variables, b0 is the intercept, b1, b2, ..., bk are the slope coefficients, and u is the error term,

 

Yhat represents the OLS fitted values, uhat represent the OLS residuals, b0_hat represents the OLS estimated intercept, and b1_hat, b2_hat,..., bk_hat, represent the OLS estimated slope coefficients.

QUESTION 1

In the SLR model, suppose the dependent variable (Y) represents the quantity consumed of apples in a particular area in tones, and the explanatory variable (X1) is the average price of apples in that area in £. If this model is estimated by OLS, then the estimated slope b1_hat, represents:

 

  1. by how many tones consumption of apples will change, if the average price of apples increases by £1
  2. the predicted change in the consumption of apples (in kilos), if the average price of apples increases by £1
  3. the predicted change in the price of apples (in £), if consumption of apples increases by 1 tone
  4. by how many tones consumption of apples is predicted to change, for a £1 increase in the average price of apples

 

 

QUESTION 2

Suppose in the SLR model, the dependent variable (Y) represents 'the price of a house in £1,000', and the explanatory variable (X1) represents ‘the number of rooms in the house’. The estimated regression model is: Yhat =51.45 + 7.45*X1.

According to this model, what is the predicted increase in the price of a house, if we add three rooms to a house?

 

  1. £73800
  2. £7450
  3. £22350
  4. £7.45

 

 

QUESTION 3

Suppose you have an SLR model with the sample mean of the dependent variable (Y) being equal to 13.4, the sample mean of the explanatory variable (X1) being equal to 22.5, and the OLS estimate for the slope coefficient (b1_hat) being equal to 0.25. What is the value of the OLS estimate for the intercept (b0_hat) in this model?

 

  1. We cannot calculate it with the information provided
  2. It is 7.775
  3. It is 19.025
  4. It is 19.15
