Two Stage Least Squares is calculated as follows; in the first stage: A) Y is regressed on the exogenous variables only. The predicted value of Y is then regressed on the instrumental variables. B) the unknown coefficients in the reduced form equation are estimated by OLS, and the predicted values are calculated. In the second stage, Y is regressed on these predicted values and the other exogenous variables.

Two corresponding sides of two similar triangles are 3cm and 5cm. the area of the first triangle is 12cm2. what is the area of the second triangle?

The westins and the shermans live in the same city and pay the same sales tax rate, and both families made $14,000 in taxable purchases last year. if the westins made $86,000 and the shermans made $33,000 last year, is the sales tax in their city an example of a regressive tax? yes, because the westins and the shermans both paid the same sales tax rate. b. no, because the shermans paid a higher percentage of their income in sales tax than the westins did. c. no, because the westins and the shermans both paid the same sales tax rate. d. yes, because the shermans paid a higher percentage of their income in sales tax than the westins did.

For a short time after a wave is created by wind , the height of the wave can be modeled using y= a sin 2pi(t) / t where a is the amplitude and t is the period of the wave in seconds. how many times over the first 5 seconds does the graph predict the wave to be 2 feet high?
