a.
b,
2, What are the basic assumptions of the OLS Method? (3 pt.)
3, What is the difference between Economic model and Econometrics Model? (2
pt)Suppose a researcher is interested to examine the relationship between
demand for kerosene (Y) and the income of the consumer (X). Let the following
data represents the information on the above stated variables for 12 month.
MONTH | Y(in |X
liter | (in
s) | bir)
7 | 100 | 500
2 | 120 | 580
3 90 | 700
4 | 730 | 650
5 | 180 | 800
6 | 140 | 800
7 | 130 | 875
& | 720 | 900
9 | 110 | 900
70 | 100 | 105
07 90 | 120
12 700 | 140
Based on the information given above, attempt the following questions:
1. Compute and interpret the correlation between Y and X. (1 pt.)
2. Compute the slope and the intercept ( 2 pt.)
3. Write the regression equation( 1 pt.)4, Calculate the variance and standard deviation of each variable. (2 pt.)
5. Calculate the average income elasticity of demand for kerosene. (1 pt.)
(3 pt.)
