Recently the European Community (EC) decided to lower its subsidies to makers of pasta. In deciding by what amount to reduce total subsidies, experiments were carried out for determining the possible reduction in exports, mainly to the United States, that would result from the subsidy reduction. Over a small range of values, economists wanted to test whether there is a positive correlation between level of subsidy and level of exports. A computer simulation of the economic variables involved in the pasta exports market was carried out. The results follow. Assuming that the simulation is an accurate description of reality and that the values obtained may be viewed as a random sample of the populations of possible outcomes, state whether you believe that a positive rank correlation exists between subsidy level and exports level over the short range of values studied Q

Problem Set #3 J) The amount of income spent on housing is an important component of the cost of living. The total costs of housing for homeowners might include mortgages payments, property taxes, and utility costs (water, heat, electricity). An economist selected a sample of Inland Empire, California, homeowners and calculated housing costs as a percent of monthly income, 5 years ago and now. The information is reported below. Is it reasonable to conclude the percent is less now than 5 years ago? Apply the 6-step hypothesis testing procedure to test using a = 5% (0.05).

Scenario: The following model was fitted to data on gas mileage as a function of weight of vehicle and type of vehicle (sport utility vehicle, family sedan, subcompact). Model: MPG = 50 - 0.004WT - 8SUV - 3FS MPG =miles per gallon; WT=weight of vehicle; SUV=sport utility vehicle; FS=family sedan Answer the questions below. 1. Each pound of weight reduces fuel economy by MPG 2. Fuel economy is reduced by MPG for a sport utility vehicle 3. Fuel economy is reduced by MPG for a family sedan 4. For a subcompact car weighing 1000 pounds, what is the predicted fuel economy?

Researchers conducted an observational study of automobile drivers and their cell phone use by manually observing traffic in heavily congested areas. They would record the amount of time they observed individual drivers on the phone while operating their vehicle in stop and go traffic and the number of accidents on a particular section of highway over the course of a month. The accompanying graph depict the data they recorded, each point represents a 1 mile section of heavily congested roads. From the data, which of these is a potentially valid conclusion? Cell-phone use while driving increases the rate of accidents. O Car accidents and cell-phone use have no relationship. The increasing rate of car accidents causes increased phone-call length. A conclusion cannot be made; the data ignores the omitted variable of which cell-phone provider each person uses. If the x and y variables were swapped, what would the new slope be? zero positive Number of car accidents 10- 9- 8- 7- 5- 4- 3- 2-…
