Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of a confidence interval in a classical linear model?

  • To test a hypothesis about the population parameter
  • To determine the significance of the model
  • To provide a range of likely values for the population parameter (correct)
  • To provide a point estimate of the population parameter

What happens to the confidence interval when the standard error of an estimate decreases?

  • The confidence interval becomes biased
  • The confidence interval widens
  • The confidence interval narrows down (correct)
  • The confidence interval remains unchanged

What is the correct formula for the upper bound of the confidence interval for a regression coefficient?

  • ^β - [Critical value × standard error (^β)]
  • ^β × [Critical value × standard error (^β)]
  • ^β + [Critical value × standard error (^β)] (correct)
  • ^β / [Critical value × standard error (^β)]
