Instructions: This question paper consists of Seven (7) questions. Attempt aU questions.
Use of calculator and Statistical tables is allowed.

1. (a) A multiple linear regression with 4 regressor variables and 25 observations produced the
ANOVA table. Complete the ANOV A table and test the hypothesis of no linear regression
at a= 0.05.

(b) Find a 95% confidence interval on population correlation coefficient p if a random

sample of 39 x-y pairs has a correlation coefficient r of 0.63.
(c) Discuss the need of confounding in 2k factorial experiment.. Distinguish between total
and partial confounding in a factorial experiment by considering suitable example of 23
experiment. [7]

2. Consider a 26 factorial experiment. Using detining contrasts ABDE, BCDE, and ABC
constmct the suitable number of blocks showing appropriate treatment combinations in each
block what other factorial effects are confmmded? [7]

3. (a) State advantages of factorial experiment over a simple experiment.

(b) Consider the simple linear regression model Yi =Po+ PI Xi + Ei . The estimator oftme
mean of the dependent variable Y is given by p_v 1x = B0 + Bt x. Assuming Ei's are
independently identically normally distributed with mean 0 and variance(/, Obtain the
distribution of Bo, Bt and ~l Y/x [7]

4. Use the method of least squares to fit a line for the full owing data and answer the related
questions:

I; I ~ I ~ I ~ I ~ I io I ~21
(i) Estimate the regression curve F Ylx = Po+ P1 x. Find the 90% confidence interval on
11 Y/x when x = 3.5. Also find 90% prediction interval on y when x = 3.5.

(ii) Test Ho: PI= 0 versus H1: Pt f. 0. Use a= 0.05.

(iii) Estimate R2
(iv) Calculate 95% confidence interval on PI [7]

5. (a) In case of simple linear regression model, describe a procedure for testing:
Ho: True regression line is linear, vs H1: True regression line is not linear.
(b) In case of multiple linear regression model describe the procedure for Extra smn of
square test and discuss its utility. [7]
6. Consider the multiple linear regression model Y =X p + E where Y(nxJ), ~nxp) and E(nxl)
(p=k+ 1). Obtain the least square estimator of p. By making suitable assumptions on Ei' s
obtain the maximum likelihood estimator of p. Are the MLE and least square estimators are
same? Further find its expected value and its variance-covariance matrix. Suggest a 100(1-
a)% confidence interval for ~i 's. [7]
7. Set up normal equation for the model ~YixL x2 = Bo + B1 x, + ~2X2 and solve using the
following data:

(a) Find Var (PJ), Var CP2).

(a) Test Ho: P2 = 0 vs H,: P2 j: 0 (Use a = 0.05).
(c) Find R2 for this model.
(d) Test Ho: p, = P2 = 0 vs H,: Pi j: 0 for at least one i=1,2. [8]
