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.
Each term (3 months) the current group of economics students completed a questionnaire as to how much they would spend on new purchases compared to how much they would save/pay off bills, if they suddenly and unexpectedly received a check for $1,000. The average MPC is shown in the table below. Month in which student poll was taken Average of students’ responses as MPC March 0.41 June 0.30 September 0.22 December 0.56 What do these MPC’s imply about the students’ thinking over the course of the year? (Enter response here.) What is likely happening in the economy during the same period of time?
Use a software of your own choice to calculate the daily log prices (lp) and daily log returns (Ir) i. Examine the descriptive statistics of both lp and Ir. What do you conclude about the distributions of lp and Ir? Is lp normally distributed? Is Ir normally distributed? Obtain the correlograms, and examine the autocorrelations and partial autocorrelations for both lp and Ir. What do you conclude about the behaviour of lp and Ir? Are they stationary/non-stationary? ii. iii. Are your conclusions about stationary/non-stationary of lp and lr confirmed by appropriate unit root tests?
In Colorado, sales of medical marijuana began in November 2012; however, the Department of Revenue did not report tax collection data until February of 2014. The accompanying data file includes monthly revenue from medical and retail marijuana tax and fee collections as posted in the Colorado state accounting system. Use the linear trend model (no seasonality) to forecast the tax revenue for November and December of 2018.

5. (26 points) The following two equations were estimated using a sample of births for the year 2010. The variable bwght is birth weight, in ounces, faminc is annual family income, in thousands of dollars, cigs is number of cigarettes the mother smoked per day while pregnant, motheduc is mother's education (in years), and fatheduc is father's education (in years): log (bŵght) = 4.73+ 0.146 log( faminc) - (0.03) (0.076) n=1,191 R² = 0.264 0.031 cigs (0.016) (5.1) log (bŵght) = 4.73+ 0.136 log( faminc) - (0.03) (0.076) - 0.051 cigs (0.010) 0.040 motheduc+ 0.041 fatheduc (0.030) n=1,191 R² = 0.286 (0.026) (5.2) (a) In terms of the model parameters, (i) state the null hypothesis that, after controlling for faminc, motheduc, and fatheduc, cigs has no effect on birth weight against the alternative that cigs has a negative effect; and (ii) carry out the test at the 10% significance level (4 points). (b) Controlling for cigs, is faminc individually significant at the 1% level against a two-…
