Chapter 6.2, Problem 41E

SURVEY OF LEADING ECONOMISTS A survey of the opinions of ten leading economists in a certain country showed that, because oil prices were expected to drop in that country over the next 12 months,

Seven had lowered their estimate of the consumer inflation rate.

Eight had raised their estimate of the gross national product (GNP) growth rate.

Two had lowered their estimate of the consumer inflation rate but had not raised their estimate of the GNP growth rate.

How many economists had both lowered their estimate of the consumer inflation rate and raised their estimate of the GNP growth rate for that period?

John Kittle, an independent insurance agent, uses a five-year moving average to forecast the number of claims made in a single year for one of the large insurance companies he sells for. He has just discovered that a clerk in his employ incorrectly entered the number of claims made four years ago as 1,400 when it should have been 1,200.a. What adjustment should Mr. Kittle make in next year’s forecast to take into account the corrected value of the number of claims four years ago?b. Suppose that Mr. Kittle used simple exponential smoothing with a = .2instead of moving averages to determine his forecast. What adjustment is now required in next year’s forecast? (Note that you do not need to know the value of the forecast for next year in order to solve this problem.)
The price of oil was steadily increasing by 3% a year for a 10-year period. The cause was general inflation and the effect was increasing prices. There was a 40% spike in the price of oil during the spring and summer of 2006. What could have been a hidden variable that caused this jump in prices? O a) the 2006 election O b) the age of the drilling platforms c) a volcano in the South Pacific O d) hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico
The selling prices of mutual funds change daily. In order to study these changes, a sample of mutual funds was examined and the daily changes in price are listed below.
