Transcribed Image Text:New Jersey has a population of 7.6 million people. Suppose that New Jersey increased the tax on a case of beer by $1 (in 1988 dollars). Use the results in column (4) to predict the number of lives that would be saved over the
next year.
Construct a 95% confidence interval for your answer.
The 95% confidence interval for the number of lives that would be saved over the next year is [

These regressions were estimated using panel data for 48 U.S. states. Regressions (1) through (6) use data for all years
1982 to 1988, and regression (7) uses data from 1982 and 1988 only. Standard errors are given in parentheses under
the coefficients, and p-values are given in parentheses under the F-statistics. The individual coefficient is statistically
significant at the ***10%, **5%, or *1% significance level.
