CAS Exam MAS-I Fall 2018, Question 34

Study guide: Exam MAS-I

A least squares regression model is fit to a data set. The resulting predictors and their standard errors are shown below:

Fitted Standard Error
\hat\beta_0 1.00 0.05
\hat\beta_1 2.50 0.15
\hat\beta_2 -0.50 0.20
\hat\beta_3 2.00 0.80

A second model is fit to the same data using only the 3^{\text{rd}} independent variable:

Fitted Standard Error
\hat\beta_0 1.25 0.08
\hat\beta_3 2.20 0.75

Calculate variance inflation factor of \hat\beta_3.

  • A) Less than 1.00

  • C) At least 1.05, but less than 1.10
  • D) At least 1.10, but less than 1.15
