Recall from introductory economics that an increase of $1 in government spending may increase GDP by more than $1. The exact amount by which GDP goes up is the multiplier. Using a sample of 41 observations, we estimate the multiplier; its estimated value is 4.0 and its standard error is .4.

a) Find a 90 percent confidence interval, a 95 percent confidence interval, and a percent confidence interval for the true value of the multiplier.

b) Would you believe that the value of the multiplier was 4.2? Would you believe that it was 2.8?
