A

To determine

the effect on the nominal GDP when the money supply increases by 5% and velocity remains unchanged.

Concept Introduction: As per the equation of exchange, M×V=P×Y, where M is the quantity of money, V is its velocity, Y is nominal GDP, and P is the price level. This equation explains that total spending is equal to total receipts. Thus, an increase in the quantity of money in the economy will lead to an increase in the price level, assuming the velocity and output level remains constant. Also, if there is an increase in the output level, it can lead to increase in demand for M, however, if the M remains constant, it will affect the velocity of money. The equation also states that the quantity of money spent equals the quantity of money used. The quantity theory of money explains the link in the variables. V=P×YM .

QUESTION 2 2.1 [30] Mariana, a researcher at the World Health Organisation (WHO), collects information on weekly study hours (HOURS) and blood pressure level when writing a test (BLOOD) from a sample of university students across the country, before running the regression BLOOD = f(STUDY). She collects data from 5 students as listed below: X (STUDY) 2 Y (BLOOD) 4 6 8 10 141 138 133 127 123 2.1.1 By using the OLS method and the information above derive the values for parameters B1 and B2. 2.1.2 Derive the RSS (sum of squares for the residuals). 2.1.3 Hence, calculate ô 2.2 2.3 (6) (3) Further, she replicates her study and collects data from 122 students from a rival university. She derives the residuals followed by computing skewness (S) equals -1.25 and kurtosis (K) equals 8.25 for the rival university data. Conduct the Jacque-Bera test of normality at a = 0.05.

If you were put in charge of ensuring that the mining industry in canada becomes more sustainable over the course of the next decade (2025-2035), how would you approach this? Come up with (at least) one resolution for each of the 4 major types of conflict: social, environmental, economic, and political
How is the mining industry related to other Canadian labour industries? Choose one other industry, (I chose Forestry)and describe how it is related to the mining industry. How do the two industries work together? Do they ever conflict, or do they work well together?
