Suppose a business researcher randomly selects 130 recent purchasers of PCs in the United States. (Round the value of ? to 2 decimal places. Round the values of z to 2 decimal places. Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)
(a) What is the probability that more than 37 PC purchasers bought an HP computer?
(b) What is the probability that between 27 and 37 PC purchasers (inclusive) bought an HP computer?
(c) What is the probability that fewer than 22 PC purchasers bought an HP computer?

In 2016 UK residents voted in favor of Brexit, a proposal to leave the European Union and thereby cancel the UK’s free trade arrangement with the EU. Pro-Brexit analysts have argued that, if the UK now signs a free trade agreement (FTA) with the United States, this U.S.-UK FTA would offset any UK trade losses due to Brexit.
Basing your answer on the simplest gravity model of international trade, do you think the pro-Brexit analysts are correct? The economies of the European Union and the United States were approximately the same size, at $18.8 trillion and $19.4 trillion, respectively, in 2017.
What are some other factors you might want to add to your gravity model in order to strengthen your analysis?
