Grocery workers are one of the essential workers in the time of COVID19 pandemic. One of the grocery workers are Costco workers. Suppose that the Costco company wants to hire more workers due to COVID 19 and Costco workers want to work fewer hours due to COVID 19. What will happen to equilibrium wage per hour of Costco workers and equilibrium number of hours of Costco workers? Analyze how equilibrium wage and number of working hours will change due to COVID 19 in three graphs because there may be three cases depending on the relative size of change in labor demand and labor supply. Label clearly Y-axis, X-axis, and two equilibrium points as E0 before COVID 19 and as E1 after COVID 19 and labor demand and supply as LD0 and LS0 before COVID 19 and labor demand and supply as LD1 and LS1 after COVID19. Show the change in equilibrium wage and working hours by arrows and summarize how these two (wage and working hours) changes in each case in words after drawing graphs

A company recently switched its compensation plan. Prior to the switch, salespeople were paid a higher salary, but their commission on each item sold was smaller. After the switch, the salary was less, but the commission for each item sold was larger. A complaint was lodged with HR with the threat of legal action claiming the sales team was making less money. The HR director examined the salaries of nine randomly selected salespeople. Their salaries ($1000’s) before and after the switch are shown in the table below.

Salesperson 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Before 55 22 34 22 25 61 55 36 68

After 53 24 36 28 31 61 58 38 72

(a) Is there evidence that salaries decreased under the new compensation plan? Test at the 2.5% level of significance.

(b) Explain the meaning of the P-value in the context of the study.

(c) Explain the meaning of a Type I error in the context of the study.

(d) Explain the meaning of a Type II error in the context of the study.
