In 2020 the United States will use some $10 trillion of manufactured goods as measured by the price level as it will be in 2020—producing $9 trillion and paying for the extra $1 trillion by exporting services. Let’s use that as our unit of the quantity of manufactures—$1 worth at 2020 prices is equal to one unit of manufactured goods. And let’s set our index of the price of manufactured goods in 2000 equal to 1.
Suppose the supply curve for manufactured goods has constant-returns-to-scale, with no producer having (much of) an opportunity cost advantage over any other.
Suppose the demand curve for manufactured goods is a straight line linear function such that an increase in the price from its 2000 value of 1 to a value of 2 would lead to a reduction in the quantity demanded by $1 trillion.
What will be the equilibrium price of manufactures in 2020?

Draw an activity diagram to represent the Purchasing process described below.
The Purchasing department of a company handles purchase requests from other departments in the company.
Each request is handled by a case worker within the Purchasing department.
The case worker receives a request and monitors it until a purchase order is made or until the request is reported to the manager of the department.
For the purchase of products with the total cost under $2000, the case worker writes a purchase order, and sends it to one of the approved vendors.
For purchase requests over $2000, the case worker must first send them out for bids from several vendors that supply the product. After one week, if there are at least four bids returned, the case worker selects one bid, writes a purchase order, and sends it to the vendor. Otherwise, the case worker reports the request to the manager.

A pumpkin farmer weighed a simple random sample of sizen= 20 pumpkins, with these results:9.6, 8.8, 5.1, 9.7, 9.1, 8.9, 8, 9.2, 2.7, 9.1, 8.5, 7.3, 9.3, 9.6, 4.1, 9.9, 7.6, 9, 7.2, 8.5
1.how to use R to perform the bootstrap with 2000 resamplings to create a90% confidence interval forμ
2.how to know whether the true mean pumpkin weight for this pumpkin farmer’s patchis greater than 7.2. Conduct a bootstrap hypothesis test with 2000 resamplings at a significance levelα= 0.05.
3.how to conduct a hypothesis test at levelα= 0.05 to see whether we can assert the data are strong evidencethe true median weight for this pumpkin farmer’s patch is greater than 7.2.

John polled the Russian public about Vladimir Putin's popularity for a very long time before the 2000 election. The proportions in this problem come from their findings; the sample sizes are made up but are consistent with their polling techniques.
(a) In May 2000, 478 of 783 Russians surveyed had a “highly favorable” or “somewhat favorable” opinion of Vladimir Putin. Test the hypothesis that less than 64% of Americans had an opinion this high of Vladimir Putin's at a significance level of α = .1.
(b) In August 1996, 41% of 635 Russians surveyed had a “highly favorable” opinion of Vladimir Put-on; in August 1997, 33% of 696 did. Test the hypothesis that this opinion was held by at least 5% more of the American public in August 1966 than it was in August 1967 at a significance level of α = .05.
