735263Question 1a)According to Gauss Markow Theorem, OLS is the Best Linear Unbiased Estimator when the variance is the least among the forecasted values or calculated values of Regressions and the actual values of the co-efficients of regressions. (Wooldridge, 2015)The Gauss Markow is also, true , only if the assumptions that the regression is linear and errors are homoskedascistic. (Wooldridge, 2015)b)Statistically, Null Hypothesis is that Beta values are equal and all are equal to zero. The statistical interpretation is that the Co-efficients of Regression of the log of lot size, the number of bathrooms, the dummy variable that the house has 3 bedrooms, dummby variables that the house has 4 bedrooms, and dummy variable that the house has 5 bedrooms is zero. This implies that the variable are not regressors of the independent variable or they have a negligible impact of changes in the dependent variable, here lprice is higher. (Lambert, 2013)In terms of economics, this indicates that the increase in house price is autonomous. This implies that the house price and an increase in house price is exogenous and is not related to the lot size, the number of bedrooms or bathrooms. The supply is either artificially fixed or completely inelastic to these factors.c)If the null hypothesis is true, then β2 = β3 =β4= 0, then (lprice)= β0 + β1llotsize + β2bathrooms+ β3 bd2+ β4bd3+ β5bd4 +u = δ(lprice)= β0 + β1llotsize + β2bathrooms+uThe partial regression is not equal to the full equation. Hence, the null hypothesis is rejected. The size of the bedroom has an effect on the price of the house.d)R-Square measures the Goodness of Fit of regression or how close the estimated values are to the actual values. The goodness of It is computed as {n∑xy – (x)(y)}/ √{(nx2 – (x)2} {(ny2 – (y)2} (Wooldridge, 2015)The R-Square and the Adjusted R-Square for the second model are higher, implying, this model is a better fit than the first one. Hence, based on the goodness of the fit, the second model is preferred.e)The results for variable bd2 were possibly eliminated due to the presence of collinearity or similarity. (Lamber, 2013)f)The new equation will be:(lprice)= β0 + β1llotsize + β2 (good)+u The co-efficient will indicate the extent to which being located in a good area would be a regressor of house price.Question 2a)i) In the given equation, RSS stands for residual Sum of Squares or the Sum of Squared Errors of Prediction. It is the sum of squared residuals. An Equation is homoskedastic (there is no heteroskedascity) if the RSS is within a range for all values i.e for observations 1- 100. However,
