where i = 1; 2; :::N and t = 1; 2. If you expect that β_1 is positive, but the correlation between Δx_i and Δu_i is negative, thenwhat is the bias in the OLS estimator of β_1 in the first-differenced equation?
You are conducting quality control for a company that manufactures LED displays. The factory you are assessing is supposed to have a manufacturing defect rate of 1 in 100 LED displays.
As part of your assessment, you want to verify this defect rate by analyzing a random sample of LED displays. You are planning to randomly sample 1500 displays from this factory and observe how many of them contain manufacturing defects. Let Zi be equal to 1 if the i’th display has a defect and 0 otherwise, for i = 1,...,1500.
(a) What is the statistic that you will use to estimate the defect rate for this factory? How do you compute it using Z1, Z2, . . . , Z1500?
(b) Assuming that the true defect rate for this factory is in fact 1 in 100 displays, can we approximate the sampling distribution of the statistic that you selected in part (a) using a normal distribution? Please state and check the requirements for applying the approximation, and identify the mean and standard deviation of the normal…

Briefly explain your answer. Sixty students were matched by initial pulse rate, with the two with the highest pulse forming a pair, and so on. Within each pair, one student was randomly chosen to drink a caffeinated beverage, while the other one drank an equivalent amount of water. Their pulse rates were measured 10 minutes later, to test whether caffeine consumption elevates pulse rates. To determine whether lack of sleep increases appetite, researchers recruited 50 volunteers and randomly assigned 25 of them to sleep at least 8 hours a night and the other 25 to sleep at most 5 hours a night, for 3 days. Calorie intake was recorded for all 50 volunteers for the 3-day period.arrow_forward
- The article in the ASCE Journal of Energy Engineering (1999, Vol. 125, pp.59-75) describes a study of the thermal inertia properties of autoclaved aerated concrete used as a building material. Five samples of the material were tested in a structure, and the average interior temperatures (°C) reported were as follows: 23.01, 22.22, 22.04, 22.62, and 22.59. Test that the average interior temperature is equal to 22.5°C using alpha (a) = 0.05. This problem is a test on what population parameter? What is the null and alternative hypothesis?
