You have the following data on quantity demand of commodity X and its price and other factors during 1991-2005:-
year |
Quantity ( Q) KG |
Expenditures ( M) NIS |

Based on the above data:-
4) Compute the predictable value of the dependent variable & the residuals?
5) How much the change in Px, Py and Expenditures ( M) explains the variations in Q?
6) Interpret the empirical results of the estimated equation?
7) Calculate demand elasticities at the mean.
8) Construct a confidence internal at 95% of estimated own price elasticity at the
mean and in the year of 2005?
10) Construct a confidence interval of the quantity demanded in the years 2005 and in
the year 2008 when Px=7, Py=3.5 ,Expenditures =1900
