  • 12 33 17 
  • 13 55 30 
  • 14 18 13 
  • 15 3 3 

  • 1. Estimate the equation (DEP) ̂_i=β ̂_0+β ̂_1 〖ANX〗_i+ε_i using OLS. (8M) 
  • 2. Calculate their variance and standard error. (5M) 
  • 3. Comment on the direction of the relationship.(2M) 
  • 4. Does the intercept have a useful interpretation here? Explain. (3M) 
  • 5. Compute the fitted values and residuals for each observation, and verify that the residuals (approximately) sum is zero. (6M) 
  • 6. What is the predicted value of DEP when ANX=20? (2M) 
  • 7. How much the variation in DEP for every eight students is explained by ANX? (4M)
