METHODOLOGY OF RESEARCH

FINAL EXAM

Note: This is an exam to be completed in ONE hour of time. You have to answer ALL questions
referred below. For any hesitate please rise your hand up. Good Luck.

1) Identify those features that make scientific knowledge unique from any other
kind of discipline
2) Use tables below to answer the following questions
2.1 According to the data, is this regression line Y = β0 + β 1 X 1 + β 2 X 2 + β 3 X 3 +ε
suitable to explain the behavior of all variables? Reasoning the result
2.2 What is the most relevant independent variable in order to explain
dependent one? Are all of them as a whole statistically significant? Reasoning
the result
2.3 According to the table, could we assume that errors maintain a constant
variance? Reasoning the result
2.4 Formulate an a hypothesis making use of those variables from the table (do
not need to use all of them)
