5) State any theorems that you use in determining your solution. a) Suppose you are given a model with two explanatory variables such that: Yi = a +ẞ1x1 + ẞ2x2i + Ui, i = 1, 2, ... n Using partial differentiation derive expressions for the intercept and slope coefficients for the model above. [25 marks] b) A production function is specified as: Yi = α + B₁x1i + ẞ2x2i + Ui, i = 1, 2, ... n, u₁~N(0,σ²) where: y = log(output), x₁ = log(labor input), x2 = log(capital input) The results are as follows: x₁ = 10, x2 = 5, ỹ = 12, S11 = 12, S12= 8, S22 = 12, S₁y = 10, = 8, Syy = 10, S2y n = 23 (individual firms) i) Compute values for the intercept, the slope coefficients and σ². [20 marks] ii) Show that SE (B₁) = 0.102. [15 marks] iii) Test the hypotheses: ẞ1 = 1 and B2 = 0, separately at the 5% significance level. You may take without calculation that SE (a) = 0.78 and SE (B2) = 0.102 [20 marks] iv) Find a 95% confidence interval for the estimate ẞ2. [20 marks]

Find u xv and show that it is orthogonal to both u and v. 8) a) Find the equation of the least squares regression line for the data points below. (-2,0), (0,2), (2,2) b) Graph the points and the line that you found from a) on the same Cartesian coordinate plane.

1. A consumer group claims that the mean annual consumption of cheddar cheese by a person in the United States is at most 10.3 pounds. A random sample of 100 people in the United States has a mean annual cheddar cheese consumption of 9.9 pounds. Assume the population standard deviation is 2.1 pounds. At a = 0.05, can you reject the claim? (Adapted from U.S. Department of Agriculture) State the hypotheses: Calculate the test statistic: Calculate the P-value: Conclusion (reject or fail to reject Ho): 2. The CEO of a manufacturing facility claims that the mean workday of the company's assembly line employees is less than 8.5 hours. A random sample of 25 of the company's assembly line employees has a mean workday of 8.2 hours. Assume the population standard deviation is 0.5 hour and the population is normally distributed. At a = 0.01, test the CEO's claim. State the hypotheses: Calculate the test statistic: Calculate the P-value: Conclusion (reject or fail to reject Ho): Statistics
