1. Consider the simple linear population model without intercept: $y_i = \beta x_i + \varepsilon_i$$\varepsilon_i = \rho \varepsilon_{i-1} + u_i,$ where $u_i \sim i.i.d(0, \sigma^2)$. We use OLS method to estimate parameter $\hat{\beta}$. After we obtain the $\hat{\beta}$, we use OLS residuals to generate Durbin-Watson statistic. Which approximation value does Durbin-Watson statistic converge under $T \to \infty$? (A) \( 2 - \hat{\rho} \) (B) \( 1 - 2\hat{\rho} \) (C) \( 2(1 - \hat{p}) \) (D) \( 1 - \hat{p} \) (E) \( 2 - 3\hat{p} \)

Ⅲ、填空題(每格 5 分,共 50 分。) 1. Let random variable X follow a geometric distribution with parameter p, that is, $P(X=x) = pq^{n-1}, \quad p+q=1, \quad x=1, 2, 3, \dots$ Calculate the probability of P(X > m), where m is a positive integer. (1)
2. Suppose $S_n = X_1 + X_2 + \dots + X_n$, where $E(X_i) = \frac{1}{n}$, $Var(X_i) = \frac{1}{n} - \frac{1}{n^2}$ and $Cov(X_i, X_j) = \frac{1}{n(n-1)} - \frac{1}{n^2}$ for $i \neq j$. Then, $Var(S_n) =$ (2) .
3. Suppose that the probability density function of X is $f(x) = 2x \exp(-x^2)$, $0 \le x < \infty$. Find the probability density function of $Y = X^2$, f(y) = (3) .
4. Suppose that the continuous random variables (X, Y, Z) have a valid joint probability density function $f(x, y, z) = Kxyz^2, \quad 0 \le x, y \le 1, \quad 0 \le z \le 3.$ Then, E(Y) = (4) and $E(Y|X = \frac{1}{2}, Z = 1) =$ (5) . Of course, you should find the value of K first.
5. If random variables $X_1, X_2, \dots, X_n$ are i.i.d. $N(\mu, \sigma^2)$, and $S^2$ is their sample variance. Then, the distribution of $\frac{(n-1)S^2}{\sigma^2}$ is (6) .
6. Suppose you play a game of chance where you win w dollars with probability p but lose v dollars with probability 1-p. Denote $X_i$ the random variable. Then, how large should p be so that you, a reasonable person, are willing to play the game? (7)
7. Let $X_1, \dots, X_n, X_{n+1}$ be a random sample from a normal population having an unknown mean $\mu$ and variance 1, and $\bar{X}_n$ be the average of the first n variables. Then, the distribution of $X_{n+1} - \bar{X}_n$ is (8) . If $\bar{X}_{200} = 5$, then the 95% confidence interval for $X_{201}$ is (9) .
8. In a multiple linear regression, a dependent variable is explained by a constant and 4 independent variables using 35 observations. The $R^2$ of this regression is 0.6. To test the significance of this regression, we can obtain the F statistic equal to (10) .
