A “Cobb–Douglas” production function relates production (Q) to factorsof production, capital (K), labor (L), and raw materials (M), and an errorterm u using the equation Q = λKβ1Lβ2Mβ3eu, where λ, β1, β2, and β3 areproduction parameters. Suppose that you have data on production and thefactors of production from a random sample of firms with the same Cobb–Douglas production function. How would you use regression analysis toestimate the production parameters?

A group of Sports Science students (n = 20) are selected from the population to investigate whether a 12-week plyometric-training programmed improves their standing long jump performance. In order to test whether this training improves performance, the students are tested for their long jump performance before they undertake a plyometric-training programme and then again at the end of the programmed .The following table present the results of before and after the training programmed. Test the claim that their long jump performance is higher after the training.
