Question

QM161, Semester 1, 2010 Part B A sample of ten developed countries is selected. Information about the percentage labour force participation in the agricultural sector and the per capita income (in thousands of US dollars) is obtained. An analysis using EXCEL yielded the information below.

Explanation / Answer

a) The independent variable is Labour Force in Agriculture(%)

b)The dependent variable is Income

c) estimated regression equation = 12.52322738 - 0.552567237*(% in Agriculture)

b0 = 12.52322738 , b1 = - 0.552567237
