Rework problem 13 from section 3.2 of your text, involving Example 3.9, with the changes described below. Suppose you have a bag containing one black ball numbered 1, six white balls numbered 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and seven red balls numbered 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. Fill each of the following blanks with a Y for yes or an N for no: (1) Is the event "drawing a black ball" independent from the event "drawing an even-numbered ball"? (2) Is the event "drawing a black ball" independent from the event "drawing an odd-numbered ball"? (3) Is the event "drawing a white ball" independent from the event "drawing an even-numbered ball"? (4) Is the event "drawing a white ball" independent from the event "drawing an odd-numbered ball"? (5) Is the event "drawing a red ball" independent from the event "drawing an even-numbered ball"? (6) Is the event "drawing a red ball" independent from the event "drawing an odd-numbered ball"?

There is a temple hidden somewhere high in the mountains in the east. This temple is the home of a strange religion. The believers of this religion have a strange practice. When a new member enters the temple, a red or blue mark is placed on his forehead. If a believer ever finds out that the mark on his own forehead is red, he must leave the temple in the middle of the night never to return. Because there are no mirrors in the mountain, no believer has ever seen the mark on his own forehead. However, they can clearly see the mark on their fellow believers. Since their religion forbids them from talking about the marks of others, nobody has ever left. One day, a traveler comes across the temple and asks "Why do some of you have red marks on your foreheads?" What happens after the traveler leaves?
Note: In common with many puzzles of this type, the solution relies on the assumption that all participants are totally rational and are intelligent enough to make the appropriate deductions.
A Nothing.
B Each day, exactly one believer with a red mark on his forehead leaves the temple.
C Believers with red marks on their foreheads randomly start leaving.
D All believers with red marks on their foreheads leave together one day.

Answer each of the questions in Section B. Answers should typically be no more than 2-3 sentences in length. 1. In the long-run model of chapter 4, what assumption about the demand for real money balances ensures that the velocity of money V is constant? Be sure to explain why this is the case. 2. When discussing the Quantity Theory of Money, we concluded that the nominal money supply M determined nominal GDP. Explain exactly what we meant by this. 3. In the simple formulation of the aggregate demand curve from chapter 9, what should the central bank do if it wants to exactly counteract a 10% rise in velocity? 4. In the Keynesian cross analysis, explain in your own words why the tax multiplier is smaller (in absolute value) than the government spending multiplier. 5. Explain why the IS curve is downward-sloping using the loanable funds market approach.

At what orbital radius would a planet in our solar system have to be to enjoy “Earth-like” temperatures and conditions when the Sun arrives at the tip of its Red Giant “branch” (about 5 billion years hence). Compare your answer to the present orbital radius of Pluto. Assume that the orbit of earth is circular around the sun.

10. What would be the probability of getting pink flowered plants from a cross between two pink flowered plants?
11. Is there any chance of red or white flowers from a cross of two pink flowered plants? Explain your answer.
