Question

Suppose that we have fit the straight-line regression model $\hat{y} = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x_1$ but the response is affected by a second variable $x_2$ such that the true regression function is $\mathbb{E}(y) = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x_1 + \beta_2 x_2$ (a) Is the least-squares estimator of the slope in the original simple linear regression model unbiased? (justify your answer!) (b) What is the bias in $\hat{\beta_1}$?

          Suppose that we have fit the straight-line regression model $\hat{y} = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x_1$ but the response is affected by a second variable $x_2$ such that the true regression function is
