California's restaurant industry employs dishwashers and chefs. Immigrant workers from Central America generally lack training to work as chefs but can wash dishes.

Standard neoclassical labor supply and demand, what will be the effect on the wages of California dishwashers if civil strife drives uneducated workers to leave Central America for the United States?

What would the effect of this strife be on wages for restaurant chefs? Why the difference?

3. (No computer output is accepted) A typical person in America has 155 friends in Facebook, 210 followers in Instagram and 155 followers in Twitter according to USA Tomorrow. A random sample of 30 people is selected and the following summary statistic are obtained. (Assume that the variables are normally distributed.)

   

Sample Mean for Facebook is 120.7
Sample Mean for İnstagram is  210.3.
Sample Mean for Twitter is 154.5

Sample Standard Deviation for Facebook is 5.2
Sample Standard Deviation for İnstagram is 7.85
Sample Standard Deviation for Twitter is 19

a)   Construct a 99% two-sided confidence interval for the mean number of friends in Facebook for all people in America.

b)   Construct a 99% two-sided confidence interval for mean number of followers in Instagram for all people in America.

c) Construct a 99% two-sided confidence interval for the mean number of followers in Twitter for all people in America.

d) Does this sample support the claim of USA Tomorrow? Explain your answer.



(Use 4 significant digits in your results. For example, if your answer is 20/7, write 2.8571. Moreover, do not leave the solution as 20/7. and show your answers in detail)

Answer the following questions related to Vegetarianism.

  • In the United States, 32% of adults eat a vegetarian diet (Vegetarianism in America, n.d.). What does the term "vegetarian" mean?
  • Do you think vegetarian diets are practical? That is, can someone easily be a vegetarian while living the typical American life of being rushed and busy?
  • Vegetarian diets are associated with a lower risk of obesity and diabetes as well as other chronic conditions (Marsh, Zeuschner, & Saunders, 2012). Clearly a vegetarian diet can be a healthy one, but can a vegetarian diet lack nutrients? If so, which nutrients may be lacking? How could these nutrients be measured in the body to determine if someone is deficient in them? Are there vegetarian foods that provide these nutrients or would supplementation be necessary? Are there any interactions to be aware of with the supplements that a vegetarian may take?
  • Do you think that a vegetarian diet would be costlier than a nonvegetarian diet?
  • Look at the meals you ate in your 3-days diet record. Do any of your meals contain no meat? Choose one of your meals that contain meat and modify it to be vegetarian. Would you eat the modified meal?
