问题如下:
Using information from Exhibit 2, Vasileva should compute the 95% prediction interval for Amtex share return for month 37 to be:
选项:
A.–0.0882 to 0.1025.
–0.0835 to 0.1072.
0.0027 to 0.0116.
解释:
A is correct. The 95% prediction iinterval for the dependent variable given a certain value of the independent variable is calculated as:
Prediction interval =
and the predicted value
Therefore:
Predicted value = 0.0095 + (0.2354 × (–0.01)) = 0.0071
The lower limit for the prediction interval = 0.0071 – (2.032 × 0.0469) = –0.0882
The upper limit for the prediction interval = 0.0071 + (2.032 × 0.0469) = 0.1025
如果题目问求95% interval of slope (oil return),就直接用表格中0.2354+/-1.96*0.046来算吗? 如何判断题目问的到底是95% of Y 还是表格中的 oil return (b1)呢?表格中b1和Y都叫做oil return
