6. The researcher can choose how wide a bin of a
histogram can be-True or false?
16. Suppose that three book publishers
were interested in the number of fiction paperbacks adult consumers
purchase per month. Each publisher conducted a survey. In the
survey, adult consumers were asked the number of fiction paperbacks
they had purchased the previous month. The results are as
follows:

A researcher is interested in performing an explanatory variable
exclusion test on 3 parameters. The data-generating-process
satisfies the assumptions of the Classical Linear Model. There are
J=6 total explanatory variables and 42 observations. The
unrestricted model is of the form: LaTeX:
y_i=\beta_0+\sum_{j=1}^J\beta_jx_{ij}+u_i y i = β 0 + ∑ j = 1 J β j
x i j + u i Identify the critical value from the Snedecor
F-distribution with a 5% level of significance for the exclusion
test suggested...
A study presents data on widths and lengths of the native butter
clam. Here is a small random sample of dimensions for four of these
clams that we will use to test whether, in general, the clams are
longer than they are wide.

(a) Use software to carry out a paired t test to see if
the mean of differences, width minus length, is negative for the
larger population of...
Consider the case of a power plant that, in the process of
generating electricity, it also emits noxious pollutants. It has
been argued that this situation represents a market failure.
a. Briefly explain, using a graph, what are the economic
foundations of this argument?
b. Using the graph in (a) show what are the economic
implications of this case
c. What economic mechanism would you suggest to correct for
this market failure?
d. In general, why market forces, do not...
Describe how the heights, widths, and locations of the peaks in
the following three situations change when the optical setup is
changed. (the wavelength of incident light does NOT change) Each
part of the question should have 3 answers, except for question C
which should have 4 answers.
A. You have a diffraction pattern caused by a single slit of
width a, and you double the slit width. (4 points)
a. Central peak Intensity change: b. Central peak width change:...
