1. A research study undertaken by the Department of Educational Foundation, of the University of Education, Winneba in Effutu Municipality found that the scores for Basic two (2) and Basic three (3) on standardised tests for reading maths, listening, and word study skills were the same in small classrooms (13 to 17 students) as in regular classrooms (25 to 30 students). Suppose that a school like Unipra South 'C' Basic School with Basic three (3) had 100 students taught by four teachers. The Municipal Director of Education, realising the size of Unipra Basic 'C' with huge number in class decided to increase the number of teachers by adding two (2) female teachers to reduce the class size. If the Effutu study can be generalised: a) What is the Marginal Product of Labour (MPL) of these two additional teachers? b) Explain your answer in (a) with reasons why the situation is like that.

11 Suppose you are interested in estimating the effect of hours spent in an SAT preparation course (hours) on total SAT score (sat). The population is all college-bound high school seniors for a par- ticular year. (i) Suppose you are given a grant to run a controlled experiment. Explain how you would structure the experiment in order to estimate the causal effect of hours on sat. (ii) Consider the more realistic case where students choose how much time to spend in a prepara- tion course, and you can only randomly sample sat and hours from the population. Write the population model as sat = Bo + Bihours + u where, as usual in a model with an intercept, we can assume E(u) = 0. List at least two factors contained in u. Are these likely to have positive or negative correlation with hours? (iii) In the equation from part (ii), what should be the sign of B1 if the preparation course is effective? (iv) In the equation from part (ii), what is the interpretation of B,?

In June 2015, Gallup conducted a poll of a random sample of 14802 adults to determine the well-being of people living in the United States. One question asked, "Did you exercise at least 30 minutes for 3 or more days in the past week?" In the survey, 57.3% of males and 42.7% of females responded yes to this question. Which of the following is true about this scenario?A. 57:3% and 42.7% are both statistiesB. 57.3% and 42.7% are both parameter.C. If we took another random sample of 14802 adults, we would expect to get the exact same results.
A justification for job training programs is that they improve worker productivity. Suppose that you are asked to evaluate whethe r more job training makes workers more productive. However, rather than having data on individual workers, you have access to data on manufacturing firms in Ohio. In particular, for each firm, you have information on hours of job training per worker (training) and number of nondefective items produced per worker hour (output).(iv) If you find a positive correlation between output and training, would you have convincingly established that job training makes workers more productive? Explain.

After entering a lease in Uganda, a US company has increased crop production which has been documented to have contributed to food security in Uganda. However, an NGO raises concerns that the company unfairly took over a community’s land and should therefore be held accountable. From which perspective is the NGO most likely operating?
