The technology underlying hip replacements has changed as these operations have become more popular (over 250,000 in the United States in 2008). Starting in 2003, highly durable ceramic hips were marketed. Unfortunately, for too many patients the increased durability has been counterbalanced by an increased incidence of squeaking. An article reported that in one study of 152 individuals who received ceramic hips between 2003 and 2005, 14 of the hips developed squeaking.
(a) Calculate a lower confidence bound at the 95% confidence level for the true proportion of such hips that develop squeaking. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Discussion: Types of Tax
After considering the "Types of Tax" PPT, please propose a general set of Income, Consumption, Wealth or other taxes at Federal, state or local level with rates for each which you consider would be best for the United States at this time. Please justify your choices by citing evidence from reliable outside sources. It is understood that this is only the revenue side of government (in Intro to Econ courses, taxes is included in Micro and spending in Macro -- go figure), but obviously if taxation changes, this has an impact on the spending side, at least in terms of whether there is a surplus or deficit.

European Countries have invested heavily in manufacturing technologies to create or preserve their comparative advantage in the production of such things as turbines. In contrast, U.S. companies have exploited the comparative advantage of producing abroad, locating newer plants overseas and outsourcing jobs to countries with lower labor costs. Discuss the relative merits of the European versus the United States approach in terms of (1) maximizing the country’s well-being in the short-run and (2) in the long-run. Which country’s approach do you think puts investment dollars to their highest valued use and why? Explain your answer.
