- Consider the following two formulations of the bivariate PRF, where ui and εi are both mean-0 stochastic disturbances (i.e random errors): yi = β0 + β1xi + u yi = α0 + α1(xi − x¯) + ϵ a) Write the OLS estimators of β1 and α1. Are the two estimators the same? b) What is the advantage, if any, of the second model over the first?arrow_forwardLet n1=40, X1=10, n2=40, and X2=20. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. a. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence of a significant difference between the two population proportions? Determine the null and alternative hypotheses.
