Economics 141 (Intro to Econometrics) Professor Yang Spring 2001 Answers to Midterm Test No. 1 1. Consider a regression model of relating Y (the dependent variable) to X (the independent variable) Yi = (0 + (1Xi+ (i where (i is the stochastic or error term. Suppose that the estimated regression equation is stated as Yi = (0 + (1Xi and ei is the residual error term. A. What is ei and define it precisely. Explain how it is related to (i. ei is the residual

All Four‚ One - Linear Functions In the last activity‚ we talked about how situations‚ rules‚ x-y tables‚ and graphs all relate to each other and connect. Now‚ we’ll look at how situations‚ rules‚ x-y tables‚ and graphs relate and connect to linear functions. A linear function is a function that‚ if the points from the function were to be put on a graph and connected‚ it would form a straight line. They are used to show a constant rate of change between two variables. A very simple example

2.2.1 Forest Road Constructions and Natural Environment Forest Road Constructions have serious effects to the natural environment. These effects can be direct or indirect. Road technical works that include big cut up and fill up constructions change the natural landscape and the ecological balance. Natural landscape is aesthetically downgraded. The vegetation (e.g. trees‚ bushes) that was previously located on the roadway is removed therefore forest environmental and social advantages (oxygen production
