1. The Simple Linear Regression model can be written as Y₁ = B₂+ B₁2, +4 i=1,2,..., n where 3, and 3, are unknown parameters and e,' s are independent and identically dis- tributed random variables with E(e) = 0 and Var(e) = 0². Also, B, and 3₁ denotes the least-squares estimates for the parameters 3, and 3₁. (a) Derive the formulae for 8, and 3, directly from the sum of squared error (SSE) formula.
