EXERCISE 4.9
(a) The Jarque-Bera = 30.405483. The test statistic value is larger than the critical value and we reject the null hypothesis.
(b) In this case JB = 1.9153333. Thus we fail to reject the null.
(c) In this case JB = 0.88941667. Thus, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
(d) The log-log model fits the data the best.
(e) (i) The magnitude of the correlation between y and x is the same as the correlation between y and a + bx.
(ii) The 2R = 0.31315216.
(iii) YHAT and RPRICE3 have an exact linear relationship.

EXERCISE 4.15
(a) For all values of x the dependent variable will be positive. An x = 0 will create an undefined value.
(b) ( ) ( )21 2 2exp 1dy dx x x−= β + β × −β Assuming that 0x > the slope will be positive if 2 0β < .
(c) When 2 0β < , as x approaches zero from above, we see that ( )1 2 1 xβ − β → −∞ and ( )1 2exp 1 0y x= β − β → . If x approaches infinity ( )1 2 11 xβ − β → β and ( ) ( )1 2 1exp 1 expy x= β − β → β . In Figure XR 4-15(c) part 1 we chose 1 1β = , so
2.7182818y e→ ≅ .
See Figure XR 4-15(c) part 2. If 2 0β > , as x approaches zero from above, we see that
( )1 2 1 xβ + β → ∞ and ( )1 2exp 1y x= β + β → ∞ . If x approaches infinity ( )1 2 11 xβ + β → β and ( ) ( )1 2 1exp 1 expy x= β + β → β . In Figure XR 4-15(c) part 2 we
chose 1 1β = , so 2.7182818y e→ ≅ .
(d) See Figure XR 4-15(d).
The slopes at the x-values 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 are

We see that the slope increases but then begins to decrease. So, the answer is both.
(e) The first derivative is ( ) ( )21 2 2exp 1dy dx x x−= β + β × −β . The second derivative, uses Derivative Rule 6. To solve for the point where the second derivative equals zero we set the second term to zero and solve for x:

In this case the log-linear model fits the data well, except at the very low and very high ends.

EXERCISE 4.19
(a) RYIELD can be interpreted as the number of hectares needed to produce one tonne of wheat.
(b) In the figure RMULL is the RYIELD series for Mullewa and RNORTH is the RYIELD series for Northampton. In both shires amount of land required to produce show a spike in 1963 and for Mullewa again in 1976-1977 and 1979.
There is an outlier in 1963 in the two shires, implying that a greater number of hectares was needed to produce one tonne of wheat than in any other year. There were similar but less extreme outliers in Mullewa in 1976, 1977 and 1979. Wheat production in Western Australia is highly dependent on rainfall, and so one would suspect that rainfall was low in the above years. A check of rainfall data at http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/data/ reveals that rainfall was lower than usual in 1976 and 1977, but higher than normal in 1963. Thus, it is difficult to assess why 1963 was a bad year; excess rainfall may have caused rust or other disease problems during the growing season, or rain at harvest time may have led to a deterioration in wheat quality.
