Answer to Question 1

c
RATIONALE: A global minimum is also a local minimum.

Answer to Question 2

b
RATIONALE: The practical implication of normally distributed errors with a mean of zero and a constant variation for any given combination of values of x1, x2, . . . , xq is that the regression estimates are unbiased, possess consistent accuracy, and tend to err in small amounts rather than in large amounts.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
