Regression without any regressor. Suppose you are given the model: Y i = 1 + u

Question:

Regression without any regressor. Suppose you are given the model: Yi = β1 + ui.

Use OLS to find the estimator of β1. What is its variance and the RSS? Does the estimated β1 make intuitive sense? Now consider the two-variable model Yi = β1 + β2Xi + ui . Is it worth adding Xi to the model? If not, why bother with regression analysis?
