image 10.33 Confidence intervals for the slope and intercept. Refer to the previous two exercises. The mean and standard deviation of the S&P 500 returns for these years is 12.04% and 18.33%, respecitvely. From this and your work in the previous exercise:

  1. (a) Find the standard error for the least-squares slope b1.

  2. (b) Give a 95% confidence interval for the slope β1 of the population regression line.

  3. (c) Explain why the intercept β0 is meaningful in this example.

  4. (d) Find the standard error for the least-squares intercept b0 and use it to construct a 95% confidence interval.
