Suppose that the inflation rate in the United States is 1.5 percent while GDP is 2 percent below the potential level. According to the Taylor Rule the Federal Reserve authorities should adjust the stock of base money to drive the target inflation rate to 2 percent. If the current federal funds rate is 2.75 percent, does this mean that the U.S. monetary policy is too tight? Explain (assume the real natural rate of interest is 2 percent and α = β = 0.5). Please use the equation: target rate = neutral rate + 0.5(GDPe - GDPt) + 0.5(le - lt).

The Insure.com website reports that the mean annual premium for automobile insurance in the United States was $1,503 in March 2014. Being from Pennsylvania at that time, you believed automobile insurance was cheaper there and decided to develop statistical support for your opinion. A sample of 25 automobile insurance policies from the state of Pennsylvania showed a mean annual premium of $1,425 with a standard deviation of

s = $160.

(a)

Develop a hypothesis test that can be used to determine whether the mean annual premium in Pennsylvania is lower than the national mean annual premium.

H₀: μ ≤ 1,503

H_a: μ > 1,503

H₀: μ > 1,503

H_a: μ ≤ 1,503

H₀: μ < 1,503

H_a: μ ≥ 1,503

H₀: μ ≥ 1,503

H_a: μ < 1,503

H₀: μ = 1,503

H_a: μ ≠ 1,503

(b)

What is a point estimate in dollars of the difference between the mean annual premium in Pennsylvania and the national mean? (Use the mean annual premium in Pennsylvania minus the national mean.)
