Suppose that a random sample of 216 twenty-year-old men is selected from a population and that their heights and weights are recorded. A regression of weight on height
yields
Weight = (-107.3628) + 4.2552 x Height, R2 = 0.875, SER = 11.0160
(2.3220) (0.3348)
where Weight is measured in pounds and Height is measured in inches.
A man has a late growth spurt and grows 1.6200 inches over the course of a year. Construct a confidence interval of 90% for the person's weight gain.
The 90% confidence interval for the person's weight gain is ( ☐ ☐) (in pounds). (Round your responses to two decimal places.)
Suppose that (Y, X) satisfy the assumptions specified here. A random sample of n = 498 is drawn and yields
Ŷ= 6.47 + 5.66X, R2 = 0.83, SER = 5.3
(3.7)
(3.4)
Where the numbers in parentheses are the standard errors of the estimated coefficients B₁ = 6.47 and B₁ = 5.66 respectively.
Suppose you wanted to test that B₁ is zero at the 5% level. That is,
Ho: B₁ = 0 vs. H₁: B₁ #0
Report the t-statistic and p-value for this test.

The Least Squares Assumptions
Y=Bo+B₁X+u, i = 1,..., n, where
1. The error term u; has conditional mean zero given X;: E (u;|X;) = 0;
2. (Y;, X¡), i = 1,..., n, are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) draws from

- Problem 5 The MNO Corporation is preparing for its stockholder meeting on May 15, 2013. It sent out proxies to its stockholders on March 15 and asked stockholders who plan to attend the meeting to respond.

- 1. In this question, assume all dollar units are real dollars in billions. For example, $100 means $100 billion. Argentina thinks it can find $105 of domestic investment projects with a marginal product of capital (MPK) equal to 10% (each $1 invested in year 0 pays off $0.10 in every later year). Assume a world real interest rate r*is 5%, and initial external wealth W (W in year -1) is 0. a. You find that the formula on the lecture slide: > r*, which means that a country will ΔΟ AK take on investment projects as long as the marginal product of capital (MPK) is at least as high as the real interest rate. Using this formula, answer if Argentina should conduct the project. b. If the projects are not done, GDP = Q = C = $200 in all years. Compute the present value of Q and C. c. If Argentina conducts the projects (investing $105), what is the present value of Q and C? d. If Argentina conducts the projects, what is the present value of C? Is Argentina better off with the investment?arrow_forward2. Consider a world of two countries: Highland (H) and Lowland (L). Each country has an average output of 9 and desires to smooth consumption. All income takes the form of capital income and is fully consumed each period. Initially, there are two states of the world: Pandemic (P) and Flood (F) each occurring with 50% probability. Pandemic affects Highland and lowers the output there to 8, leaving Lowland unaffected with an output of 10. Flood affects Lowland and lowers the output there to 8, leaving Highland unaffected with an output of 10. a. Assume that households in each country own the entire capital stock of their own land. Fill in the numbers on the following table. Pandemic Highland's income Lowland's income Flood Variation about the mean b. Assume that each country owns 50% of the other country's capital.
