(Forecast Variance) Suppose that you have sample data on a pair of variables: ((xn, yn); n = 1,..., N). Under the assumptions of Proposition 5 (Variances of OLS, p. 157), find the conditional variance of the forecast error of the OLS forecast $$β_1 + β_2x_{N+1}$$ for yN+1 given {xn; n = 1,..., N+1} using the simple regression model E[yn|xn] = $$β_0 + β_2x_n$$.
