a. What is the yield curve?
b. What might a downward-sloping yield curve imply about expected future short term interest rates? Explain your answer.
c. Explain why a downward-sloping yield curve may indicate that the economy is expected to grow slower. What would a steep downward sloping yield curve imply about future inflation?
d. How would your answers in b. and c. differ if the curve was flat? if upward-sloping?
e. What does the yield curve look like in Australia today? Why? (Go to the RBA website -http://www.rba.gov.au/statistics/tables/ and get data for yields at different maturities at the most recently available data)

Title:
An Experimental Test of the Effect Adult Marsh Rush Plants (J. maritimus) Have On Seed Germination in an Upper and Lower Marsh.
General Hypothesis:
The presence of marsh rush (Juncus maritimus, a species of plant) adults has a positive effect on seed germination in the lower marsh (where the soil is really wet and salty) but inhibits seed germination in the upper marsh.
Proposed Methods:
In this section, you should describe all the steps it will take to do the study and collect the data you need. It’s also important to justify why you are going to do the study the way you propose.
Make sure your ‘proposed methods’ section is as complete as possible, with information on how many treatments, controls, variables, sample sizes, replicates, etc. If your experimental design is complicated, I highly recommend making a table to show the different treatments, etc. Be sure to also include information about the timing of your study – when are you going to do this? How long will it take? How will you collect and analyze the data?
