Christine is the dean of students at a college. She is concerned about the amount of sleep students are getting. In particular, Christine is making an inquiry on whether students who are enrolled in the pre-med program are getting less sleep on average compared to students who are enrolled in other programs. The average amount of sleep per night for a random sample of 10 pre-med students and 10 students in other programs is recorded. Assume that the population standard deviation of hours of sleep per night is 0.6 hour for the pre-med students and 0.8 hour for the students in other programs, and that the number of hours of sleep per night for both groups of students is normally distributed. Let the pre-med students be the first sample, and let the other students be the second sample. She conducts a two-mean hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance, to test if there is evidence that pre-med students are getting less sleep than students in other programs.
(a) H0:μ1=μ2; Ha:μ1<μ2, which is a left-tailed test.

The above table shows the average amount of sleep per night for a random sample of 10 pre-med students and 10students in other programs.
(b) Use a TI-83, TI-83 Plus, or TI-84 calculator to test if the mean sleep for pre-med students is less than the mean sleep for other students. Identify the test statistic, z, and p-value from the calculator output. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your p-value to three decimal places.
c) Which of the following are appropriate conclusions for this hypothesis test? Select all that apply.

Ed's utility from vacations (V) and meals (M) is given by the
function
U(V,M) = V2M. Last year, the price of vacations was $200 and the
price of meals
was $50. This year, the price of meals rose to $75, the price of
vacations remained
the same. Both years, Ed had an income of $1500.
a. Set up a Lagrangian to solve utility maximization problem with
initial
price and find equilibrium.
b. When price of meals increased repeat the a and find
equilibrium.
c. Show both equilibrium in the graph. Place vacation on the
vertical axis
and meals on the horizontal axis.
d. show the compensating variation for price change in meals in the
graph.
e. Calculate compensating variation as numeric number for the
price
change in meals. (Hint: Use expenditure function)
f. Calculatethe equivalent variation as numeric number for the
price
change in meals.
