Question:
Suppose a sample yields estimates \(\widehat{\theta}_{1}=5, \widehat{\theta}_{2}=3\), se \(\left[\widehat{\theta}_{1}\right]=2\), and se \(\left[\widehat{\theta}_{2}\right]=1\) and the correlation coefficient between \(\widehat{\theta}_{1}\) and \(\widehat{\theta}_{2}\) equals 0.5 . Perform the following tests at level 0.05 , assuming asymptotic normality of the parameter estimates.
(a) Test \(H_{0}: \theta_{1}=0\) against \(H_{a}: \theta_{1} eq 0\).
(b) Test \(H_{0}: \theta_{1}=2 \theta_{2}\) against \(H_{a}: \theta_{1} eq 2 \theta_{2}\).
(c) Test \(H_{0}: \theta_{1}=0, \theta_{2}=0\) against \(H_{a}\) : at least one of \(\theta_{1}, \theta_{2} eq 0\).
