A statistics student at a New York State community college, randomly samples 500 students who own cell phones to determine if they play games on their phones. 65% stated that they use their mobile phones to play games.
Using this information, then:

a) construct a 95% confidence interval (to 3 decimal places) for the population proportion, p, of NYS community college cell phone users who play games on their phones.

b) construct a 99% confidence interval for the population proportion, p, of NYS community college cell phone users who play games on their phones.

c) determine the margin of error for both the 99% and 95% confidence interval estimates.

MAT 102 DAH Test# 2 Form B NAME ___________________________________________________7

d) What did you notice about the relationship between the confidence interval width and the margin of error as the confidence interval increased from 95% to 99%?

__________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________

e) Would it be reasonable for someone to state that 75% of NYS community college cell phone users play games on their cell phones? YOU MUST EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER OTHERWISE: No credit will be given.

Lightweight single-use plastic bags (we’ll just call them “bags”) often end up blowing along roadsides, clogging up waterways and hurting wildlife.

1. Use the supply and demand model to analyze the market for bags. Are bags over- or under-consumed relative to the optimal level? Explain using your graphical model. Be careful not to decide whether bags are over- or under-consumed and then create a model that matches your priors.
2. In 2014, California implemented a statewide ban on single-use plastic bags at major retailers. Let’s suppose there was a complete ban that sets the quantity of bags to zero (that's the same as instituting a quota of zero units). Show the impact of the ban on bags on your graph. Is this an efficient policy? Use your graphical model to explain why or why not.
3. Rather than banning bags, the state of California could have imposed a tax on the consumption of bags. Use your graphical model to show the tax that would give the efficient result. Explain how this differs from a ban.

Imagine that a state site visit of your facility is scheduled for next month. During a previous visit, the state revealed you were poorly graded on: Substandard food not meeting nutritional standards and cultural needs. Supplies for personal care were too limited for census in facility size. Medication errors were numerous. Eight out of 10 of your residents were tested positive for Urinary Tract Infections. They also mentioned that improvements must be made by the next inspection, or the facility would be closed. For this discussion posting, please choose two issues from the above list, and argue how would you improve the quality of services for your residents? Mention all the possible quality improvement measures. What tools and actions would you use to correct each of these infractions? Tell your classmates about the time frame in which the corrective actions will be initiated and executed and why?

Foreign Source Income. If you are a citizen of the United States, and you receive income from outside the U.S.—foreign source income—how must you report this income? Using the Internal Revenue Service website determine current reporting practices for tax purposes. Then select a foreign country and see if you can find out how they will tax your income earned in that country and any income you earned in the U.S. What are your thoughts about going to work in that country?

Be as detail as possible

1. A researcher is studying the effects of both hypnotist rapport (high versus low) and method of inducing hypnosis (strong versus seductive) on responsiveness to 20 standard hypnotic suggestions. The results are shown below.

Conduct a two-factor ANOVA for this data and compare the F-ratios to the critical F (cutoff value, use α = .05). In other words, conduct a hypothesis test for the F-ratios. Give me your findings about the data..

Make sure to test assumptions as well

1. State the independent and dependent variables.

2. State the Null Hypothesis in words and symbols.

3. Compute the appropriate statistic.

4. What is the decision?

5. State the full conclusion in words.

We have to randomly select 2 students for an award from a group of 5 equally deserving students. Of the five students two are female and three are male.Event C as selecting at least one female. Define event D as awarding only one male, what is the probability of event D? P(C U D) 8. P(C ∩ D) Are C and D disjoint?

Explain in detail using sample space if possible. And pls if you use symbols like this: a) D = {one male and one female} P(D) = 2C1 * 3C1 / 5C2 = 2 * 3 / 10 = 0.6 please explain what C is? what does 2C1 ,means?

(12) With respect to the macro-economic production function, what is the difference between the overall level of technology (A), and the type of technology known as worker Efficiency, or worker effectiveness? (Worker efficiency is called the “g” in the Solow Model.) That is, how would you distinguish overall change in technology in the macro-economy from the technical change embodied in a rise in worker effectiveness? If worker effectiveness gives rise to sustained increases in the economy’s standard of living, even in the Steady State, can the overall level of technology impact the result as well?

(13) Given your answer to (12) above, how would you describe your own increase in worker effectiveness with respect to any endeavor you are working on today in Davis? (LIKE DOING THIS HOMEWORK, FOR EXAMPLE?) What about after you graduate? How does the overall level of Technology (The Big “A”) link to the increase in your own worker effectiveness?

(14) Using the Solow Growth Model, assume that the depreciation of the capital stock (gamma), and “n” (growth of the labor force) are all greater than zero. The growth rate of worker efficiency, “g”, is zero. What are the alternatives to changing the rate of saving in order to reach a “higher” K/L ratio and a higher Y/L ratio at the STEADY STATE equilibrium (k* and y*)? How would you go about promoting these changes?

(15) What is “The Golden Rule”? Why is the term “Golden Rule” applied to the Golden Rule Steady State of y* and k*? (Note: the answer is not “that level of Y/L and K/L that maximizes consumption per worker, C/L!)

(16) You are the boss of an economy that has worker efficiency rising at a 1 percent annual rate. The labor force is growing by 4 percent annually. The depreciation rate of your capital stock per worker is 10 percent. Also your economy is operating at a savings rate whose associated capital/labor ratio steady state is ABOVE the GOLDEN RULE steady state. Your challenge is to get to the golden rule steady state. What do you propose to do and how might you go about it? What happens to consumption per worker as you go from where you begin to the Golden Rule steady state? What happens to the MPK as you approach the Golden Rule Steady State? What value of MPK are you aiming for? Hint: think of MPK as the "return on capital" in this instance.
