(g) We cannot reject the null hypothesis at the 5% level. Y = 0.17 + 0.1X = 0.47, SE(Y ) =
0.1 SE(X) = 0.2, so t = 0.470.25
0.2 = 1.1. Since the population is normal, we can take c = 1.96 for
the 5% significance level. Thus, since |t| < c, we cannot reject the null hypothesis at the 5% level.
2. By linearity of expectation, E(U ) = E(Y ) E(X) = y (y x ) x = 0.
