May 11, 2013 at 16:13 comment added Unistudent87 Omg is it 2008-1958 = 50? Oh dear..is that it?
May 11, 2013 at 16:10 comment added gung - Reinstate Monica How many data points are there? I suspect the answer is in the problem statement.
May 11, 2013 at 16:06 comment added Unistudent87 k = 2, since there is tax revenue and level of nationwide debt. But how do we find out what n is?
May 11, 2013 at 15:59 comment added gung - Reinstate Monica If it were true that the df is unknowable, then the question is unanswerable. Since they want you to answer it, I infer that they believe the df can be figured out. From the problem description, I can guess how many variables are being used to predict amount of government spending & the number of of total data.
May 11, 2013 at 15:44 comment added Unistudent87 df in this case is unknown because we do not know how many variables there are? I believe for MSE, it is SSE/(n-k-1), where k is the number of independent variables and n is the total number of variables. n is unknown from this question.
