Question 13: Test the assumption of normality in the residuals of the selected model in question 12 by using the Jarque-Bera

(JB) test. Comment on the implications of your JB test results on the properties of the OLS estimator. Using the Jarque-Bera (JB) for testing the assumption of normality in the residual. Based on question 12, the functional form I choose is linear, using Eview we get:

From graph above, we have Skewness (S)=- 0.04008 and Kurosis (K)=3.1696 1. Test for the hypothesis: H0: the model is normal distributed H1: H0 false 2. Test ( )

)= 0.03665

3. Decision rule A.R.= [0, ] = [0, 5.99]

JB belongs to A.R. we accept H0. The model is normal distributed. 4. P-value =0.981 > =5%we accept H0. The model is normal distributed. Therefore, from the JB test result, we can say that the t-test and F-test we have before all are correct because the residuals are normal distributed.
