Find the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation (round standard deviation to the nearest whole number) for the following SAMPLE set of test scores.

            90 85 75 70 80 80

Using the above information and the Empirical Rule:

  1. What percent of scores would you expect to fall between 66 and 87?                    ____________

  1. 68% of the time you would expect scores between what two values?                     ____________

  1. Determine the z-score for a test score of 64.                                                             ____________

  1. What data value would have a z-score of + 2?                                                          ____________

  1. Determine the z-score for a data value of 70 (round to nearest hundredth).           ____________

  1. Why can we use the empirical rule with this data set? Explain your answer.

1) How does Minimum wage cause unemployment?

A) Given that the effects of the minimum wage on employment differ based on the assumptions made about labor supply and demand (elastic vs. inelastic) and the structure of the labor market (perfectly competitive vs monopsonistic) how can economists then try to find the answer this question?

B) Carefully explain what methods economists could use to explore this social issue. Evaluate the empirical evidence and data and write your own interpretive analysis.

C) Can you think of few reasons why an increase in minimum wage would not lead to an increase in unemployment (besides the arguments you made under monopsony)? Can you think of few reasons that the unemployment would go up, even if the minimum wage stays the same? How do the answers to these questions impact the reliability of empirical data?
