2. The authors of the paper "Age, Spacing and Growth Rate of Tamarix as an Indication of
Lake Boundary Fluctuations at Sebkhet Kelbia, Tunisia" (J. of Arid Environ. (1982):43-
51) used a simple linear regression model to describe the relationship between y = vigor
(average width in centimeters of the last two annual rings) and x
(stems/m?). Data on which the estimated model was based is as follows.

A linear regression model has been estimated for the variables Y="monthly consumption of veal (kg)", X1="monthly monetary household income (thousand EUR)" and X2="household size (number of members)" using data for a random sample of 80 households. The following results have been obtained:
b0=0.3 b1=0.5 b2=0.7 R-sq=0.9 R=0.95,Interpret the value of regression coefficient b2.
The relationship between yield of maize, date of planting, and planting density was investigated in an article. Let the variables be defined as follows.
y = percent maize yield
x = planting date (days after April 20)
z = planting density (plants/ha)
The following regression model with both quadratic terms where x₁ = x, X₂ = Z, X3 = x² and x4 = 2² provides a good description of the relationship between y and
the independent variables.
y =a +B₁x₁ + B₂X₂ + B3X3+B₁x₁ + e
(a) If a = 21.07, B₁ = 0.653, B₂ = 0.0022, B3 = -0.0207, and B4 = 0.00002, what is the population regression function?
y = 509
X
(b) Use the regression function in Part (a) to determine the mean yield for a plot planted on May 7 with a density of 41,182 plants/ha. (Give the exact
answer.)
(c) Would the mean yield be higher for a planting date of May 7 or May 23 (for the same density)?
The mean yield would be higher for [May 7

- The measure of standard error can also be applied to the parameter estimates resulting from linear regressions. For example, consider the following linear regression equation that describes the relationship between education and wage: WAGEi=β0+β1EDUCi+εi where WAGEi is the hourly wage of person i (i.e., any specific person) and EDUCi is the number of years of education for that same person. The residual εi encompasses other factors that influence wage, and is assumed to be uncorrelated with education and have a mean of zero. Suppose that after collecting a cross-sectional data set, you run an OLS regression to obtain the following parameter estimates: WAGEi=−11.5+6.1 EDUCi If the standard error of the estimate of β1 is 1.32, then the true value of β1 lies between(4.78, 4.12, 3.46, 5.44) and (6.76, 7.42, 8.74) .
