   What is the difference between “b₁” and “β₁” in these formulas?

   • **
   
   
   1. FALSE: “b₁” represents the full effect of X₁ on Y, and “β₁” represents the partial effect of X₁ on Y.
   2. FALSE: b₁” represents the direct effect of X₁ on Y, and “β₁” represents the indirect effect of X₁ on Y.
   3. TRUE: b₁” represents the observed effect of X₁ on Y in the sample, and “β₁” represents the effect of X₁ on Y in the entire population.
   4. FALSE: b₁” represents the uncontrolled effect of X₁ on Y, and “β₁” represents the effect of X₁ on Y after controlling for the effect of the other independent variables.
   
   
   1. False
   2. False
   3. True
   4. False
