In summary, the speaker is struggling with proofs for an economics course and is looking for direction or sources to help with their weak understanding. The deadline for the assignment is approaching and they plan to consult the textbook for alternative explanations. The speaker also mentions a formula for 3a and 3b, and asks for clarification on what a "linear model" means.

Hey everyone,
I'm doing an 3rd year economics course in university and I'm already running into difficulty trying to show proofs of the following:
Q3 and 4.png


Now I certainly don't wish to ask for spoon feeding just some direction or source to where I can look up and read for the solution. My knowledge on these are still weak and the deadline is by the end of this Friday. I'm going to try the textbook tomorrow to see alternatives because I couldn't understand the lecture as well as I had hoped.

Thank you

3a is easy: \(\displaystyle E\left(\sum X_I\right)= \sum E(X_I)= \sum \beta= n\beta\) so the expected value of \(\displaystyle \frac{1}{n}\sum X_i\) is \(\displaystyle \beta\).

Pretty much the same thing for 3b.

For 4, what does "linear model" imply?
