This document provides instructions to analyze the relationship between food expenditure and weekly income using data from the file "food.wf1". The tasks include opening the file, examining descriptive statistics, plotting expenditure and the relationship with income, estimating a simple regression model and interpreting the results, computing income elasticity, analyzing residuals, and forecasting expenditures at different income levels. It also asks about the Ordinary Least Squares estimator and its Best Linear Unbiased Estimation property.

a. Open the work file b. Examine the data by providing the descriptive statistics c. Plot the food expenditure data, save the graph in the workfile (name as graph1) and copy the graph to a document (MS word) d. plot the relationship between food expenditure (y- axis) and weekly income (x-axis), save the graph in the workfile (name as graph 2) and copy the graph to a document (MS word) e. Estimate the simple regression with food expenditure as the independent variable and weekly income as dependent variable, interpret the coefficients and write out the fitted equation. f. Compute the income elasticity. g. What are the residuals? Collect the residuals from the regression and plot the residuals. What is the mean of your residual and what is the residual sum squares? h. Forecast food expenditure when income equals to 20, 25 and 30 respectively.
