Câu 2: 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

A. Simple

B. Continuously compounded

C. Neither approach would allow us to do this validly

D. Either approach could be used and they would both give the same portfolio return

A. A t-variate with z degrees of freedom is also an F(1, z)

B. The square of a t-variate with z degrees of freedom is also an F(1, z)

C. A t-variate with z degrees of freedom is also an F(z, 1)

D. There is no relationship between the two distributions

Câu 5: Consider a standard normally distributed variable, a t-distributed variable with d degrees of freedom, and an F-distributed variable with (1, d) degrees of freedom. Which of the following statements is FALSE?

A. The standard normal is a special case of the t-distribution, the square of which is a special case of the F-distribution

B. Since the three distributions are related, the 5% critical values from each will be the same

C. Asymptotically, a given test conducted using any of the three distributions will lead to the same conclusion

D. The normal and t- distributions are symmetric about zero while the F- takes only positive values

Câu 6:  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
