Câu hỏi:  Which of the following is NOT a good reason for including lagged variables in a regression?

B. Over-reactions of the dependent variables

C. The dependent variable is a centred moving average of the past 4 values of the series

D. The residuals of the model appear to be non-normal

Câu 1: The type I error associated with testing a hypothesis is equal to:

A. One minus the type II error

B. The confidence level

C. The size of the test

D. The size of the sample

Câu 2: Two researchers have identical models, data, coefficients and standard error estimates. They test the same hypothesis using a two-sided alternative, but researcher 1 uses a 5% size of test while researcher 2 uses a 10% test. Which one of the following statements is correct?

A. Researcher 2 will use a larger critical value from the t-tables

B. Researcher 2 will have a higher probability of type I error

C. Researcher 1 will be more likely to reject the null hypothesis

D. Both researchers will always reach the same conclusion

Câu 3: What is the relationship, if any, between the normal and t-distributions?

A. A t-distribution with zero degrees of freedom is a normal

B. A t-distribution with one degree of freedom is a normal

C. A t-distribution with infinite degrees of freedom is a normal

D. There is no relationship between the two distributions

Câu 4: The numerical score assigned to the credit rating of a bond is best described as what type of number?

A. Continuous

B. Cardinal

C. Ordinal

D. Nominal

Câu 5: Which of the following is NOT a good reason for including a disturbance term in a regression equation?

A. It captures omitted determinants of the dependent variable

B. To allow for the non-zero mean of the dependent variable

C. To allow for errors in the measurement of the dependent variable

D. To allow for random influences on the dependent variable

Câu 6: Which of the following is NOT correct with regard to the p-value attached to a test statistic?

A. p-values can only be used for two-sided tests

B. It is the marginal significance level where we would be indifferent between rejecting and not rejecting the null hypothesis

C. It is the exact significance level for the test

D. Given the p-value, we can make inferences without referring to statistical tables
