Explanation of Solution

In this case, the statement does not refer to the real GDP because it refers to the nominal GDP. In general, increase in nominal GDP was due to higher price. If the real GDP increases, then the countries’ well-being will decrease, bad associated with the increased production of goods and services. Therefore, if the population grows faster than GDP, then the country’s per capita GDP will decrease in an economy.

Economics Concept Introduction

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. Definition The t-statistic is (Round your response to two decimal places) ☑ 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 i their joint distribution; and 3. Large outliers are unlikely: X; and Y, have nonzero finite fourth moments.
