For a simple linear regression modely=β0+β1x+εy = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x + \varepsilony=β0​+β1​x+ε,consider the following statements where β^0\hat{\beta}_0β^​0​ and β^1\hat{\beta}_1β^​1​ are estimates of β0\beta_0β0​ and β1\beta_1β1​:

  1. Cov(y,β^1)≠0\text{Cov}(y, \hat{\beta}_1) \neq 0Cov(y,β^​1​)=0

  2. Cov(β^0,β^1)=−xˉ Var(β^1)\text{Cov}(\hat{\beta}_0, \hat{\beta}_1) = -\bar{x} \, \text{Var}(\hat{\beta}_1)Cov(β^​0​,β^​1​)=−xˉVar(β^​1​)

  3. E(y)=β0+β1xE(y) = \beta_0 + \beta_1 xE(y)=β0​+β1​x

  4. β^0=yˉ−β^1xˉ\hat{\beta}_0 = \bar{y} - \hat{\beta}_1 \bar{x}β^​0​=yˉ​−β^​1​xˉ

Which of the above are correct?

Options:(a) 1, 2 and 3(b) 1, 3 and 4(c) 2, 3 and 4(d) 1, 2 and 4


Solution:

We check each statement:

Statement 1:Cov(y,β^1)≠0\text{Cov}(y, \hat{\beta}_1) \neq 0Cov(y,β^​1​)=0Since β^1\hat{\beta}_1β^​1​ is calculated using sample values of yyy, both are dependent.Hence, covariance is not zero.✔ Correct

Statement 2:Cov(β^0,β^1)=−xˉ Var(β^1)\text{Cov}(\hat{\beta}_0, \hat{\beta}_1) = -\bar{x} \, \text{Var}(\hat{\beta}_1)Cov(β^​0​,β^​1​)=−xˉVar(β^​1​)This is a standard result in simple linear regression.✔ Correct

Statement 3:E(y)=β0+β1xE(y) = \beta_0 + \beta_1 xE(y)=β0​+β1​xSince E(ε)=0E(\varepsilon) = 0E(ε)=0, we get:E(y)=β0+β1xE(y) = \beta_0 + \beta_1 xE(y)=β0​+β1​x✔ Correct

Statement 4:β^0=yˉ−β^1xˉ\hat{\beta}_0 = \bar{y} - \hat{\beta}_1 \bar{x}β^​0​=yˉ​−β^​1​xˉThis is the standard formula for estimating the intercept.✔ Correct

Conclusion:

All statements (1, 2, 3, and 4) are correct.

Final Answer:

Since all four are correct but not given in options, the closest correct answer is:

(a) 1, 2 and 3

Note:

The question likely contains a misprint because option including all four correct statements is missing.
