Chapter 19 Differing Parenting Styles Lisette and Joel are a couple in their 20s. They have a 2-week-old baby boy and have come in for a well-baby check of their healthy infant. Joel is carrying the infant with Lisette trailing behind. When the nurse inquires how things are going at home, Lisette becomes tearful and Joel looks away. As the nurse questions them further, it becomes evident that the couple differs in their perception of how the baby should be cared for. Lisette was raised in various foster homes after being taken from her abusive mother at 3 years of age, and she has no relatives who are involved in her life at the present time. Joel comes from a large, affectionate family who is thrilled with the new baby and frequently visits. While visiting, they take over the care of the baby. Lisette has been feeling overwhelmed by the care of the infant and often just lets him cry in his crib. Immediately, Joel or one of his family members always picks up the baby when he cries.

Age and Marital Status of Women

The following two-way table describes the age and marital status of American women in 1995. The table entries are in thousands of women.

1)(4 Points)Report the marginal distribution of marital status for all adult women (use percents). Draw a bar graph to display this distribution (draw either in Excel or in SPSS).

2) (4 Points)Compare the conditional distributions of marital status for women aged 18 to 24 and women aged 40 to 64. Briefly describe the most important differences between the two groups of women, and back up your description with percents.

3) (4 Points)You are planning a magazine aimed at women who have never been married. Find the conditional distribution of age among single women (those who have never been married) and display it in a bar graph (with either Excel or SPSS). What age group or groups should your magazine aim to attract?

(1) Using the above table, data set has information on the account balances of customers at a bank’s four locations. Using that data set and an ? of 0.05, test the null hypothesis that the mean account balances are equal in the four towns using a one-way ANOVA in Excel?. Please provide a picture of the excel spreadsheet with the ANOVA Test results.

(2) Do you reject the null hypothesis or not? Indicate on which part of the Excel output you base your decision.

(3) Assuming that an acquaintance of yours has never heard of ANOVA, explain to him what the decision in part (b), i.e., “rejecting H₀” or “not rejecting H₀” means in this context at a level that can be understood by a high school senior.

An economist with a major bank wants to learn, quantitatively, how much spending on luxury goods and services can be explained based on consumers’ perception about the current state of the economy and what do they expect in the near future (6 months ahead).  Consumers, of all income and wealth classes, were surveyed.  Every year, 1500 consumers were interviewed.  The bank having all of the data from the 1500 consumers interviewed every year, computed the average level of consumer confidence (an index ranging from 0 to 100, 100 being absolutely optimistic) and computed the average dollar amount spent on luxuries annually.  Below is the data shown for the last 24 years.

Question:

1. Construct the linear regression model for the dollar amount spent on luxury goods and services.

“The Dow 10 Strategy” maintains a portfolio of the 10 highest yielding Dow Jones industrial stocks. Consider the data as per table, for the 25 years.

1. Compute the average annual returns for the Dow Jones Portfolio and the Dow 10 Strategy portfolio. Comment about the reward.
2. Compute the sample standard deviation for each portfolio. Comment about risk.
3. Compute the geometric mean Xg of 1+R_j for each portfolio. Compute (Xg)-1. What does this last number represent?
4.   is the equation relating least squares slope , Correlation  r and sample standard deviation. Compute the r for Dow 10 versus Dow Jones.

Note:   Use of calculators and computers is highly recommended.

The data below is the total spending (in millions of dollars) on drugs and other non-durable products for your assigned state (or DC). You need to convert this data to spending per capita in constant 2019 dollars.

Go to the FRED database at https://fred.stlouisfed.org/

Search for the PCEPI. Change the frequency to annual. Using that price index (this is a national index; there isn't a PCE index for each state), convert the following to 2019Q3 dollars.

Again using the FRED database, find the population for your state. The symbol is usually the two letter abbreviation for the state and POP. New York, for example, would be NYPOP.

Using this information, covert the spending below into spending per capita, in 2019Q3 dollars. Keep in mind that the values below are in millions of dollars and you want your answers in dollars.
