E. Martz tells us that chi-square analysis can be used for more than just practical applications:

Chi-square analysis compares the counts of two categorical variables to tell you if a relationship exists between the variables or not. You can apply chi-square analysis to answer important questions about factors in everyday life, and even about events like elections... or Halloween. If you are a character in a slasher film, is there a connection between your gender and your dying in some horrible manner?

As explained in the above passage, you can use chi-square analysis to compare a wide range of topics.

To complete the Discussion activity, please do the following:

Answer each question fully. Use a minimum of 250 words for a complete discussion post. While it is not required in this discussion, feel free to bring in outside resources to support your answers. Outside resources include materials outside of the textbook, such as a website.

• Propose a life event or situation and two categorical variables for it. Complete a chi-square analysis of this event or situation and these variables, and share your results.
• Do you agree with your findings? Why or why not?
• What other factors, if any, should be considered?
• In your peer responses, explain whether you agree with other’s posts on their chi-square analyses. Why or why not? Fully explain your answers.

1 - Our brain processes stimuli, thoughts, and memories on two different tracks. Sometimes that processing is explicit. More often, it is implicit.

Exercise

1. Solow Model – Foreign Aid Consider a Solow economy that begins with a capital stock equal to $300 billion, and suppose its steady -state level of capital is $500 billion. To its pleasant surprise, the economy receives a generous gift of foreign aid in the form of $100 billion worth of capital (electric power plants, machine tools, etc.)

a) Use the Solow diagram, other graphs, and mathematics of the Solow model to explain what happens to the economy, both immediately and over time. By what proportion does consumption per person initially increase? What happens to consumption in the long run?

b) Suppose instead of starting below its steady state, the economy begins in steady state, with a capital stock equal to $500 billion. Answer part (a) for this case.
