(1) True or False: Please specify your reasons. (i) An estimator is unbiased, if its expected value across different samples equals to the true value of the parameter. (ii) OLS estimator is always unbiased. (iii) We can use n- i-, û to estimate the error variance o2 because it is unbiased. (iv) If the sample size increases, we can have a better estimates of sd(Bo) and sd(B1).
