Question 3

A firm is experiencing theft problems at its warehouse.

In a linear regression equation of the form Y = a + bX, the intercept parameter a shows

In a linear regression equation of the form Y = a + bX, the slope parameter b shows

An estimator is unbiased if it produces

The critical value of t is the value that a t-statistic must exceed in order to

Suppose you are testing the statistical significance (at the 1% significance level) of a parameter estimate from the estimated regression model: M = a + bR + cI Which is estimated using a cross-section data set on 22 firms. The critical value of the appropriate test statistic is

If the p-value is 10%, then the
