Basic Question 2 of 7

The Dickey-Fuller test shows that in order to test if a time series xt is a random walk with drift, we should conduct

A. a t-test of null hypothesis that b1 - 1 = 0, using conventional critical values for a t-test.
B. a t-test of null hypothesis that b1 - 1 = 0, using a revised set of critical values for a t-test. These revised values are larger than the conventional critical values.
C. a t-test of null hypothesis that b1 - 1 = 0, using a revised set of critical values for a t-test. These revised values are smaller than the conventional critical values.
