Problem 6 (Instrumental Variables, Theory - 8 points) a. Is the following reasoning or statement correct? Explain. Suppose that X is an endogenous variable for which we need an instrument. An elementary example of an instrumental variable that is relevant but not exogenous is the variable Xitself. b. Consider a two-stage least squares regression without any exogenous variables ( W 's). In the first stage X is instrumented by variables Z1 ,Z2, Z3, and Z4. The second stage result is: Y^=4.8−0.5 X^
(1.7) (0.11) The first stage was run without a constant. The first stage overall F-statistic is 16.7 (this is the F. statistic that tests whether all first-stage parameters are zero). The overidentifying 1 -test is 13.45. Now suppose that there were exogenous variables (W's) in the model. The first stage is still run without a constant. Do you use the F-statistic as described above (testing whether all of the parameters in the first stage are zero) to decide whether the instruments are relevant? Or do you use a different F-statistic? (Hint: the question is long, but the answer is two lines! Consider: what does it mean that the instruments are relevant? Does the definition of relevance, and in particular the rule of thumb that checks it, include the exogenous variables (W's)?)
a. X can be an instrument for itself if relevant.
b. Exogenous variables don't affect instrument relevance.
a. The reasoning or statement is correct. X can serve as an instrumental variable for itself in certain cases. This occurs when X is endogenous (correlated with the error term in the regression equation) and there is a valid reason to believe that X affects the outcome variable but is not directly affected by other factors.
b. In the presence of exogenous variables (W's) in the model, the F-statistic described above, which tests whether all first-stage parameters are zero, is not used to determine the relevance of instruments. The concept of relevance of instruments is concerned with whether the instruments are correlated with the endogenous variable (X) in the first stage. Exogenous variables (W's) are not part of the relevance assessment because they are assumed to be unrelated to the endogenous variable. Therefore, the F-statistic used to test relevance would only consider the instruments (Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4) and their correlation with X, disregarding the presence of exogenous variables.

Answer:
g = \(\frac{4}{3}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
4 - \(\frac{1}{12}\) g - 2 = \(\frac{3}{2}\) g + 1 - \(\frac{5}{6}\) g
multiply through by 12 ( the LCM of 12, 2 and 6 ) to clear the fractions
48 - g - 24 = 18g + 12 - 10g
- g + 24 = 8g + 12 ( subtract 8g from both sides )
- 9g + 24 = 12 ( subtract 24 from both sides )
- 9g = - 12 ( divide both sides by - 9 )
g = \(\frac{-12}{-9}\) = \(\frac{12}{9}\) = \(\frac{4}{3}\)
Today, the population of Canyon Falls is 22{,}50022,50022, comma, 500 and the population of Swift Creek is 15{,}20015,20015, comma, 200. The population of Canyon Falls is decreasing at the rate of 740740740 people each year while the population of Swift Creek is increasing at the rate of 1{,}5001,5001, comma, 500 people each year. Assuming these rates continue into the future, in how many years from today will the population of Swift Creek equal twice the population of Canyon Falls
Answer:
10 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Population of Canyon falls = 22500
Rate of decrease = 740 per year
Population after x years :
f(x) = 22500 - 740x ; x = number of years
Population of Swift Creek = 15200
Rate of Increase = 1500 per year
Population after x years :
f(x) = 15200 + 1500x ; x = number of years
Number of years when, population of swift creek will be twice that of Canyon falls
15200 + 1500x = 2(22500 - 740x)
15200 + 1500x = 45000 - 1480x
15200 - 45000 = - 1480x - 1500x
-29800 = - 2980x
x = 29800 / 2980
x = 10

Dan used 1 3/8 gallons of gas on Saturday and 4 1/3 gallons on Sunday how many gallons did he use on the two days combined? Write your answer as a mixed number In simplest form
Dan used a total of 5 17/24 gallons of gas on Saturday and Sunday combined.
How to estimate the total gallons of gas Dan used on Saturday and Sunday combined?To find the total number of gallons Dan used on Saturday and Sunday, we shall add the amount of gas he used each day.
On Saturday, Dan used 1 3/8 gallons.
On Sunday, Dan used 4 1/3 gallons.
To add these two amounts, we shall find a common denominator by determining the least common multiple (LCM) of 8 and 3 is 24.
Converting 1 3/8 to an improper fraction:
1 3/8 = (8 * 1 + 3) / 8 = 11/8
Converting 4 1/3 to an improper fraction:
4 1/3 = (3 * 4 + 1) / 3 = 13/3
Now we can add the fractions using a common denominator, which is 24 in this case:
Let's convert both fractions:
11/8 = (11 * 3) / (8 * 3) = 33/24
13/3 = (13 * 8) / (3 * 8) = 104/24
Now we can add the fractions:
33/24 + 104/24 = (33 + 104) / 24 = 137/24
So, simplifying the fraction, we have:
137/24 = 5 (remainder 17)
5 17/24 gallons.
Hence, Dan used a total of 5 17/24 gallons of gas on Saturday and Sunday combined.

In a sale, the price of a book is reduced by 25%.
The price of the book in the sale is £12
Work out the original price of the book
Question: In a sale, the price of a book is reduced by 25%. The price of the book in the sale is £12. Work out the original price of the book
Answer: £16
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the original price of the book, we can use the fact that the sale price is 75% (100% - 25%) of the original price. Let's denote the original price as x.
75% of x = £12
To solve for x, we can set up the equation:
0.75x = £12
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.75:
x = £12 / 0.75
x = £16
Therefore, the original price of the book was £16.

To plot the graph of the function:
\(h(x)=8|x+1|-1\)According to your graphing software, we need to find the smallest value of the function, and any point at the positive slope side of the function. Let's start with the minimum point. Let's use the general formula for an absolute value function:
\(f(x)=a|x+b|+c\)The coefficients 'b' and 'c' determinates how much the function was translated from the origin. The 'b' determinates in the x-axis, and the 'c' determinates in the y-axis.
If the 'b' is positive, the function translated to the left, if it is negative the function translated to the right.
If the 'c' is positive the function went up, and if it is negative it went down.
Now let's analyze our h(x) function. Our coefficients are:
\(\begin{cases}b=1 \\ c=-1\end{cases}\)Which means our minimum point is
\((-1,-1)\)Now, we just need to calculate any point to the right of x = -1.
Let's calculate for x = 0.

a bicycle wheel has a diameter of 24 inches. there are 32 spokes evenly distributed around the wheel. how far apart is each spoke?
The diameter of a bicycle wheel is 24 inches. Around the wheel, there are 32 spokes that are spaced 48 meters away from one another.
The diameter of a circle is the distance measured through its center. The radius of a circle is the distance from the center to any point on the edge. Diameter divided by radius equals two, or 2r=d. 2 r = d . The simplest place to start would be to use a ruler to measure the distance between the circle's outside edges starting from its very center. The diameter would be that.
The diameter of the circle is the measurement at issue. The distance between the circle's center and its periphery can be measured.
far apart is each spoke (distance) = radius = diameter / 2
distance = 24/2
distance = 12
Since a wheel has 4 parts. so, 12*4 = 48 m

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
O is the centre of a circle.
M is a point on chord AB.
The length of chord AB is 12 cm.
OM is perpendicular to AB. OM is 8 cm.
a Work out the length of AM. State any circle theorems that you use.
b What is the length of the radius of the circle?
If "O" is the center of a circle, "M" a point on chord AB of the same circle whose length is 12 cm, and if OM whose length is 8 cm is perpendicular to AB, then the length of AM is 6 cm, and the radius of the circle is 10 cm.
As per the question statement, "O" is the center of a circle, "M" a point on chord AB of the same circle whose length is 12 cm, and OM whose length is 8 cm, is perpendicular to AB,
And we are required to determine the length of the segment AM, and the radius of the circle.
To solve this question, we need to the know an important theorem regarding the perpendiculars from the center to the chords of a circle, which is, "The perpendicular to any chord of a circle from it's center bisects the chord".
Here since AB is a chord of our concerned circle, and OM is the perpendicular to AB from the center, therefore, as per the above mentioned theorem, OM must also bisect AB at M, that is,
[AM = BM = (AB/2)]
Or, [AM = (12/2) cm]
Or, (AM = 6 cm]
Now, since (OM ⊥ AB) at M, therefore, (∠AMO = ∠BMO = 90°), and both A and B are two points on the circumference of the circle. If we join AO and BO with straight lines, we will have two congruent right-angled triangles, ΔAMO and ΔBMO. Advancing with ΔAMO, we will get, "OM" to be the perpendicular or altitude of the triangle, "AM" to be the base, and "AO" to be the hypotenuse of it. And as per the Pythagorus theorem, we know that, [(hypotenuse)² = {(perpendicular)² + (base)²}]
Or, [AO² = (OM² + AM²)]
Or, [AO² = (8² + 6²)]
Or, [AO² = (64 + 36)]
Or,(AO² = 100)
Or, [√(AO)² = √100]
Or, (AO = 10)
And since any straight line from the center of a circle to any point on it's circumference is the radius of it, therefore, "AO" is a radius of our concerned circle. Hence, the radius of this circle is 10 cm.

What is Percentage?percentage, a relative value indicating hundredth parts of any quantity.
we can use the formula for compound interest:
\(A = P(1 + r/n)^n^t\)
where A is the final amount,
P is the principal (initial investment),
r is the annual interest rate (as a decimal),
n is the number of times the interest is compounded per year, and
t is the number of years.
For Lydia (n=365)
A=1000(1+0.0525/365)¹⁰⁹⁵
A=1115.7
For Gabrille, we use the same formula but with n = 2 (compounded semi-annually):
A = 1000(1 + 0.0525/2)⁶
A = 1000(1.0265625)⁶
A = 1168.2
To find the difference in the amounts earned, we subtract Gabrielle's amount from Lydia's:

suppose x has a mean of 4 and a standard deviation of 3. what is: a) e(2x)? b) v ar(2x)?.
a) E(2X) = 2E(X) = 2(4) = 8. Therefore, the expected value of 2X is 8.
b) Var(2X) = (2^2)Var(X) = 4(3^2) = 36. Therefore, the variance of 2X is 36.
To derive these answers, we first used the fact that the expected value of a constant times a random variable is equal to the constant times the expected value of the random variable. This is why we were able to obtain E(2X) = 2E(X) = 2(4) = 8.
For part b, we used the fact that the variance of a constant times a random variable is equal to the square of the constant times the variance of the random variable. This is why we were able to obtain Var(2X) = (2^2)Var(X) = 4(3^2) = 36.
In summary, we were able to find the expected value and variance of 2X by using basic properties of expected value and variance.

Given a traditional unbent position, f(x) = kx + d, where k is the pitch and (0, d) is the y-intercept.
a) Consider our position at two distinct points first:
f(x) = kx + d
f(x + h) = k(x + h) + d = kx + kh + d
Evaluate the derivative, then
\($\lim h \rightarrow x \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}\)
substitute the values in the above equation, we get
\($&=\lim h \rightarrow x \frac{(k x+k h+d)-(k x+d)}{h} \\\)

a car travel 20kph faster than a truck. the car cover 350 km in two hours less than the time it takes the truck to travel the same distance. what is the speed of the car? how about the truck?
A car travel 20kph faster than a truck. the car cover 350 km in two hours less than the time. The speed of the car is 50 km/h. The speed of truck is 70 km/h.
Define speed.You can determine an object's speed if you know how far it moves in a given amount of time. For instance, an automobile is moving at a pace of 70 miles per hour if it covers 70 miles in an hour (miles per hour).
Given,
A car travel 20kph faster than a truck. the car cover 350 km in two hours less than the time.
Let s represent the truck's speed and (s+20) represent the car's speed.
to determine each vehicle's time
Time = Speed / Distance
truck time = 350/s
Time in an automobile is 350/(s+20)
Truck time - car time = 2 hours
So,
(350/s) - [350/(s+20)] = 2
LCM is s(s+20)
[350(s+20) - 350s]/s(s+20) = 2
Cross multiplying,
350(s+20) - 350s = 2s(s+20)
Simplifying the equation,
350s + 7000 - 350s = 2s² + 40s
Now, we have quadratic equation to simplify,
2s² + 40s - 7000 = 0
Dividing the equation by 2
s² + 20s - 3500 = 0
Factorizing,
s= 50
s= -70 (impossible because of the sign)
Hence the truck's speed is s = 50 km/h.
The speed of the car is s + 20 = 70 km/h.

Work out the value of x.
X
6 cm
3.5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
first Pythagoras with the right, smaller right-angled triangle. that gives us the height of the total triangle, and the shorter leg of the left, larger right-angled triangle.
c² = a² + b²
c being the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90° angle), a and b are the legs.
6² = 3.5² + height²
36 = 12.25 + height²
height² = 23.75
height = sqrt(23.75) = 4.873397172... cm
now, as mentioned, this height is also the second leg of the left, larger right-angled triangle.
and with a given angle, now trigonometry has to be used.
remember, what sine and cosine are ?
sine of an angle is the vertical (up/down) leg, and cosine is the horizontal (left/right) leg of the right-angled triangle created by the angle and inscribed in the (norm-)circle.
"norm-circle", because the radius is 1.
now, for a larger circumscribing circle (like in our case here), we need to multiply the actual radius by sine and cosine (and all other trigonometric functions).
the radius is the large, top-left side coming from the 30° angle.
we don't know the length yet, but we know the value of sin(30) multiplied by that length, which is the height we just calculated.
so,
sqrt(23.75) = sin(30)×radius
radius = sqrt(23.75)/sin(30)
sin(30) = 0.5 = 1/2
so,
radius = sqrt(23.75)/ 1/2 = sqrt(23.75)×2
x is now the cosine of the angle multiplied by the radius.
x = cos(30)×sqrt(23.75)×2 = 8.440971508... cm
≈ 8.4 cm
Answer:
8.4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the altitude of the triangle by the Pythagorean theorem
et h be the altitude
\(h = \sqrt{6^{2} - 3.5^{2}}\\= \sqrt{6^{2} - 3.5^{2}}\\\\= \sqrt{6^{2} - 3.5^{2}}\\\\= \sqrt{23.75}\\= 4.8734\)
In the triangle on the right, notice it is a 30-60-90 right triangle. Such a triangle has the property that the side opposite 30°, ( h) is related t the side opposite 60° (x) by the relationship
x/sin 60 = a /sin 30
sin 60 = √3/2 and sin 30 = 1/2
so x = a/sin 30 x sin 60
x = [a/(1/2) ]x √3/2 = √3a
The vertical leg (4.8734) is related to the horizontal leg (x) by the formula
x = 4.8734 x √3
