How would you answer the following question:

Next Wednesday's meeting has been moved forward two days. What day is the meeting now that it has been rescheduled?

This question is ambiguous as "moved forward" can be interpreted in two different ways. Did you answer Monday or Friday? The authors of the paper "Even Abstract Motion Influences the Understanding of Time" (Metaphor and Symbol [2011]: 260–271) wondered if the answers Monday and Friday would be provided an equal proportion of the time. A sample of students at Stanford University were asked this question, and the responses are summarized in the following table.

The authors of the paper used a chi-squared goodness-of-fit test to test the null hypothesis

H₀: p₁ = 0.50, p₂ = 0.50,

where p₁ is the proportion who would respond Monday and p₂ is the proportion who would respond Friday. They reported

χ² = 11.00

and

P-value < 0.001.

What conclusion can be drawn from this test?

Since the P-value is small, there is convincing evidence to conclude that the population proportions of people who respond "Monday" and "Friday" are equal.

Since the P-value is large, there is not enough evidence to conclude that the population proportions of people who respond "Monday" and "Friday" are not equal.   

Since the P-value is small, there is convincing evidence to conclude that the population proportions of people who respond "Monday" and "Friday" are not equal.

Since the P-value is small, there is not enough evidence to conclude that the population proportions of people who respond "Monday" and "Friday" are not equal.

Traditional trade theories assume that factors of production are freely mobile between industries and geographic regions within the same country. Therefore, workers who are displaced due to foreign competition can switch to other sectors in a different part of the country after a brief transition without any cost. In reality, labor markets tend to be sticky. Workers do not move even when labor market conditions would suggest they should and they are worse off as others who benefit from international trade are better off.

International trade increases total surplus and therefore increases efficiency, but it will be at the cost of equality. What is the role of government in helping people who lose as a result of foreign trade?

Note: The US government has a program called the Trade Adjustment Assistance Program (TAA) to help workers affected by foreign trade during their adjustment period. However, this program is criticized by Banerjee and Duflo, Nobel prize winners in Economics for not being sufficient
