MODULE FOUR PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF ECONOMETRICS TEST 
Unit One Accepting & Rejecting an Hypothesis 
Unit Two The Level of Significance 
Unit Three Regression Analysis and Analysis of Variance 
Unit Four Normality tests 
 
Each study unit will take at least two hours, and it include the introduction, objective, 
main content, self-assessment exercise, conclusion, summary and reference. Other areas 
border on the Tutor-Marked Assessment (TMA) questions. Some of the self-assessment 
exercise will necessitate discussion, brainstorming and argument with some of your 
colleges. You are advised to do so in order to understand and get acquainted with 
historical economic event as well as notable periods. 
There are also textbooks under the reference and other (on-line and off-line) resources for 
further reading. They are meant to give you additional information if only you can lay 
your hands on any of them. You are required to study the materials; practice the self-
assessment exercise and tutor-marked assignment (TMA) questions for greater and in-
depth understanding of the course. By doing so, the stated learning objectives of the 
course would have been achieved.
