Consider the following regression of natural logged GDP on natural logged imports for the 25 largest countries in the world based on GDP. Original data are in billions of dollars. What is the interpretation of the estimated slope?

Data on US imports and exports (in billions of dollars) for 29 months was recorded. A regression equation was found to be ŷ = -19.24 + 0.89x where ŷ represents the predicted exports for a given month while x represents the imports for that month, in billions of dollars. Suppose in one month, US imports totaled 225 billion dollars and exports was 179 billion dollars. What is the residual for this data point? 0.89 -15.24 181.01 -2.01 360.01

An economist has determined that a certain country's gross domestic product (GDP) is approximated by the function $f(x)=640 x^{1 / 5},$ where $f(x)$ is measured in billions of dollars and $x$ is the capital outlay in billions of dollars. Use differentials to estimate the change in the country's GDP if the country's capital expenditure changes from \$243 billion to $\$ 248$ billion.
