Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
[tex]R^{2}[tex/] unrestricted = 0.4366
[tex]R^{2}[tex/] restricted = 0.4149
Regressors in the unrestricted model = 3
No. of observations, n = 420
No. of independent variables, k = 3
Degree of freedom i.e no. of restrictions, q = 2
F-Statistic:
[tex]=\frac{(\frac{R^{2} _{UR}-R^{2} _{R}}{q})}{\frac{1-R^{2} _{UR}}{(n-k-1)}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{(\frac{0.4366-0.4149}{2}) }{\frac{1-0.4366}{(420-3-1)} }[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{0.01085}{0.5634} \times 416[/tex]
= 8.01
