A nonlinear function: OA. can be adequately described by a straight line between the dependent variable and one of the explanatory variables. B. is a concept that only applies to the case of a single or two explanatory variables since you cannot draw a line in four dimensions. C. makes little sense, because variables in the real world are related linearly. D. is a function with a slope that is not constant.

Graphical and Intuitive Optimization Consider a consumer who must allocate their available income between the consumption of two goods, Beer and Pizza. Their preferences over Beer and Pizza adhere to the usual assumptions we have made about preferences. The indifference curve map below reflects their preferences and the budget constraint reflects current income and prices. In the simplest terms possible, define or explain the term "Marginal Utility of Beer" (MUB). In the simplest terms possible, define or explain the term "Marginal Rate of Substitution of beer for pizza" (MRSBP). In the simplest terms possible, intuitively explain the meaning of MUB/PB, where PB represents the price of one unit of Beer.

Suppose that Y=MX+b, where Y=consumption, b=consumption at zero income, M=slope, and X=income(i) Are Y and X positively related or are they negatively related?(ii) If graphed, would the curve for this equation slope upward or slope downward?(iii) Are the variables Y and X inversely related or directly related?(iv) What is the value of Y if b=10, M=.50, and X=200?(v) What is the value of X if Y=100, b=10, and M=.25?

For each of the following scenarios, indicate whether the relationship between the two variables is positive or negative, as well as which line on the previous graph has a slope that reflects this type of relationship. Hint: The X-axis and Y-axis on the graph are not labeled intentionally. You need to substitute the variables from each scenario for the horizontal and vertical axis. For example, in the first scenario, X-axis should be labeled “ ice-cream" and Y-axis should be labeled "The temperature". Relationship options: positive, negative Line options: A, B, C, D True or False: Line D has a slope of infinity.

5. Confounding variables and multiple regressions Suppose you are interested in studying the effect of square footage on the price of houses. You propose the following regression of housing prices on square footage: price - Bo + P sqft + u where price the price of the house. sqft = the square footage of the house residual Failing to account for the number of bathrooms in a house, which may influence housing prices and may be positively correlated with square footage, could lead to estimate of the effect . This issue of confounding variables would likely bias the estimate of
