Assignment EECS 401 Due on January 12‚ 2007 PROBLEM 1 (15 points) Fully explain your answers to the following questions. (a) If events A and B are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive‚ are Ac and Bc mutually exclusive? Solution Ac ∩ Bc = (A ∪ B)c = Ωc = ∅. Thus the events Ac and Bc are mutually exclusive. (b) If events A and B are mutually exclusive but not collectively exhaustive‚ are Ac and Bc collectively exhaustive? Solution Let C = (Ac ∪ Bc )c ‚ that is the part that is not contained

Assignment 1 You are the chief analyst to monitor an eastern city’s government consumption expenditures. Using the city’s quarterly government consumption data {yt} measured in billion dollars from 2007-Q1 to 2014-Q3‚ you are trying to estimate the linear trend model: yt = + t + ut‚ where ut ~ N(0‚ ). (A) Supposing t = 1 for the starting quarter (i.e.‚ 2007-Q1)‚ then what is t for 2014-Q3? (1 mark) (B) Suppose your OLS (ordinary least squares) estimates for the trend model are = 1.62
