MCS 342 Exam 2
• Handed out: Friday, April 15
• Due by the beginning of class, Monday, April 18
• What: An examination consisting of problems related to Chapter 10, Hypothesis Testing, and Chapter 11, Linear Models and Estimation by Least Squares
• Where: Take home.
• How: Open book and notes

TOPICS
• Classical hypothesis tests and confidence intervals
  • One or two proportions
  • One or two means
  • One or two variances
• Least squares
  • Simple linear regression
  • Matrix formulation of (simple and) multiple regression model
    • Least-squares estimation
    • Distributional properties of least-squares estimators
    • Hypothesis testing and confidence intervals

NOTE
In order to keep the exam to a reasonable length, and in view of the fact that you have already had a quiz on Chapter 10, I have focused the problems of the exam on the linear model. (Inference problems for the linear model use the same distributions we used in Chapter 10: normal, t, chi-square, and F distributions.)
