A sociologist is interested in the relation between x = number of job changes and y = annual salary (in thousands of dollars) for people living in the Nashville area. A random sample of 10 people employed in Nashville provided the following information.

Σx = 59; Σy = 358; Σx² = 429; Σy² = 12,944; Σxy = 2,189

(a) Find x, y, b, and the equation of the least-squares line. (Round your answers for x and y to two decimal places. Round your least-squares estimates to three decimal places.)

Prior to a set of compensation policy changes at a company 31% of the employees surveyed said that they liked their job very much, 49% said that they liked their job moderately, and the remaining employees said that they were dissatisfied with their job. Now, in a survey of 193 employees, 78 said they liked their job very much, 107 said that they liked their job moderately, and the remaining employees said that they were dissatisfied with their job. When testing (at the 5% level of significance) whether the proportions have changed, what is the test statistic? (please round your answer to 3 decimal places)

Classical economists belief that prices and quantities adjust to the changes in the forces of supply and demand and that the economy produces its potential output in the long run. On the contrary, Keynesian economists believe because of price and wage rigidities the economy’s equilibrium output in the long run may be less than its potential output. What is wage-price rigidity? Do you agree with Keynes assessment that wage-price rigidity requires government’s involvement in the markets? Why? Why not?

One of the largest changes in the economy over the past several decades is that

technological advances have reduced the cost of making computers.

5a) Draw a supply-and-demand diagram to show what happened to price, quantity,

consumer surplus, and producer surplus in the market for computers.

5b) Forty years ago, students used typewriters to prepare papers for their classes; today

they use computers. Does that make computers and typewriters complements or

substitutes? Use a supply-and-demand diagram to show what happened to price,

quantity, consumer surplus, and producer surplus in the market for typewriters.

Should typewriter producers have been happy or sad about the technological advance

in computers?

5c) Are computers and software complements or substitutes? Draw a supply-and-demand

diagram to show what happened to price, quantity, consumer surplus, and producer

surplus in the market for software. Should software producers have been happy or sad

about the technological advance in computers?

5d) Does this analysis help explain why software producer Bill Gates is one of the

world’s richest people?
