NOTE: Provide detailed answers to all questions, also there will be a QUIZ on this material on WED.
Note: For question 1 to 5, you can take help from Gujrati book. 1. What is econometrics? Give its types and explain briefly the steps involved in conventional econometric methodology. 2. Explain briefly different types of Data with examples. 3. What is a regression model? Write general form of a simple linear regression model and clearly indicate its parameters Consider a simple linear regression model, Yt = 1 + 2 X t + t ,
2 where, , t ~ N 0, , t = 1, 2,..., T .
The following questions are related to simple linear regression model given above: 4. Explain assumptions of simple linear regression model given above. 5. What is the significance of error term in a regression model. OR explain why error term is present in a regression model?
6. Find parameters of simple linear regression model using ordinary least squares (OLS) method. ^ ^ i.e. find 1 and 2 .

Suppose we want to predict income using education, i.e we want to construct the following regression model,
Yt = 1 + 2 X t + t
