(Yi, X1i, X2i) satisfy the assumptions of the attachment in addition,var(ui | X1i, X2i) = 4 and var(X1i) = 6. A random sample of size n = 400is drawn from the population.a. Assume that X1and X2 are uncorrelated. Compute the variance of β˄1.b. Assume that corr(X1, X2) = 0.5. Compute the variance of β˄1. c. Comment on the following statements: “When X1 and X2 are correlated,the variance of β˄1 is larger than it would be if X1 and X2 were uncorrelated. Thus, if you are interested in β1, it is best to leave X2 out of the regression if it is correlated with X1.”
Victims of Violence A random survey of 74 women who were victims of violence found that 30 were attacked by relatives. A random survey of 45 men found that 18 were attacked by relatives. At α=0.10 , can it be shown that the percentage of women who were attacked by relatives is greater than the percentage of men who were attacked by relatives? Use p1 for the proportion of women who were attacked by relatives. Use the P-value method with tables.

A paper describes an experiment to investigate whether the proportion of people who make a donation when asked for a donation by email is different from the proportion of people who make a donation when asked for a donation in a text message. In this experiment, 1.7% of those who received and opened an email request for a donation and 7.8% of those who received a text message asking for a donation actually made a donation. Assume that the people who received these requests were randomly assigned to one of the two groups (email or text message) and suppose that the given percentages are based on sample sizes of 2,000 (the actual sample sizes in the experiment were much larger).
