  1. (a) Mention the assumptions underlying the method of least squares in the

classical regression model.

(b) Write a note on:

(i) t-distribution         (ii) F-distribution    (iii) Chi-square distribution

(iv) Normal distribution

  1. Fit a regression model of the form

Yi  = β1 + β2 X2i + β3 X3i + ui   for the following data:

Y :  1     3    8     11   15   14

X2 : 1     2    3      5     7     6

X3 : 2     1    4      3     5     4

Also find :

(i) Standard errors of estimators of β2 and β3.

(ii) Covariance between the estimators of β2 and β3.
