Beta agonists are commonly prescribed to patients with breathing problems.

How would they work in the lungs?                              

How would they impact the eyes, heart, liver, GI tract?                             

What would those effects be and would they be considered side effects or desired effects?

The remaining questions in this workbook assignment are based on the following scenario.

Information was collected from a reputable internet site for an investigation into the fuel economy of various makes of car and whether these varied over time. Data was collected for fifteen different models of vehicle from twelve different manufacturers. After collection, the observed vehicle models were classified as sedan, sports or 4WD.
The data for sedans is provided in the file sedan_economy.csv, also available in the same folder as this assignment. The variables in this file are:
decade: the decade in which the car was produced ((1991-2000, 2001-2010, 2011-present);
economy: fuel economy (L/100km);
cylinders: the number of cylinders in the engine;
capacity: the engine capacity (L);
fuel: the fuel type (petrol or diesel);
transmission: the transmission of the car (manual or automatic).

The sample averages of fuel economy for manual and automatic sedans in this sample are 7.854 L/100km and 9.09 L/100km, respectively. Based on this, one of the investigators has suggested that it may be possible to predict the transmission type of a sedan from its fuel economy, using a formal statistical analysis.
(a) Using R, create a new variable isauto that takes the value 1 if the transmission type is automatic, or a 0 if the transmission type is manual. You should show the command you used to do this.
(b) You should then fit an appropriate statistical model that describes the probability of a randomly chosen car having an utomatic transmission, where the fuel economy is a predictor. You should ensure you show the command you used to do this, and provide the coefficient/summary table.
(c) Is fuel economy a significant predictor of the probability of a randomly chosen car having an automatic transmission?
(d) Your friend is looking to purchase a sedan with a manual transmission from an online seller, who has not included the transmission type of the car in the advertisement description. However, the seller has stated in the advert that his 60L tank gives a range of 730km. Whether or not you found fuel economy to be a significant predictor in (d), calculate the average fuel economy and hence determine the model estimate of the probability of the car having a manual transmission.

  1. Using 2000 as the base year, compute the following statistics for each year: Nominal GDP, real GDP, the implicit price deflator for GDP, and a fixed-weight price index such as the CPI. (Present your results neatly and concisely in a table. You do not need to show your workings)
  1. How much did prices rise between 2000 and 2010? Compare the answers given by the Laspeyres and Paasche price indices. Explain the difference.
  1. Suppose you are a senator writing a bill to index Social Security and federal pensions. That is, your bill will adjust these benefits to offset changes in the cost of living. Will you use the GDP deflator or the CPI? Why?

Find the annual revenues from the Federal personal income tax from 1993 to 2000. What happened to those revenues over those years? Given constant tax rates, what do the changes in tax revenues suggest about changes in the shape of the Laffer Curve? If lower (or higher) tax rates do not explain the changes in tax revenues, what do you think does?
