Question: Consider a linear regression model of the form Y = a + b X + U , where U is the error and a and

Consider a linear regression model of the form Y = a + b X + U, where U is the error and a and b are coefficients that should be estimated. Suppose that X is a binary variable (it only takes values 0 or 1). Suppose also that a and b are estimated by the OLS method. 


Prove that the OLS method will give estimates for (1) E(Y|X=0)  and E(Y|X=1)-E(Y=0)
