Explanation of Solution
Table–1 shows the sample as follows:
Table-1 | |
People | Sample |
1 | 17 |
2 | 29 |
3 | 12 |
4 | 16 |
5 | 11 |
Thus, the value of mean is 17.
Variance can be calculated as follows:
Thus, the value of variance for sample is 51.5.
(b)
Determine the variance.

Table–2 shows the sample as follows:
Table-2 | |
People | Sample |
1 | 22 |
2 | 18 |
3 | 23 |
4 | 20 |
5 | 17 |
Thus, the value of mean is 20.
Variance can be calculated as follows:
Thus, the value of variance for sample is 6.5.
(c)

Table-3 | |
People | Sample |
1 | 24 |
2 | 37 |
3 | 6 |
4 | 39 |
5 | 29 |
Thus, the value of mean is 27.
Variance can be calculated as follows:

Discuss two practical steps that you take to reduce the variance of your OLS estimator. Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardThe mean cost of domestic airfares in the United States rose to an all-time high of $395 per ticket. Airfares were based on the total ticket value, which consisted of the price charged by the airlines plus any additional taxes and fees. Assume domestic airfares are normally distributed with a standard deviation of $115. Use Table 1 in Appendix B. a. What is the probability that a domestic airfare is $540 or more (to 4 decimals)? b. What is the probability that a domestic airfare is $240 or less (to 4 decimals)? c. What if the probability that a domestic airfare is between $300 and $490 (to 4 decimals)? d.
