Draw and carefully describe a graph that utilizes the Aggregate Demand/Aggregate Supply model that would illustrate the current state of the aggregate economy in the United States as of October 2020. Make sure that you explain your graph in your own words.  Describe the current state of the economy relative to potential GDP. draw an AD/AS graph. The graph needs to be clearly labeled and explained in some detail. The graph must include an aggregate demand (AD) curve, a short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) curve, and a long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS, Potential GDP) curve. Clearly label both axes of the graph. Identify the current price level using the GDP deflator on the vertical axis and the level of real GDP on the horizontal axis.   You don’t need to plot any other specific data points although you should identify real potential GDP (Links to an external site.) in the third quarter.

Vodafone is based in the United Kingdom. Selected data from Vodafone’s 2012 annual report follows (pounds in millions).

In its 2012 annual reports, Vodafone states, " Our leading performance is based on 3 core strengths. The successful implementation of our strategy to generate liquidity or free cash flow from non-conrolled interest.'

(a) Compute the percentage change in sales, operating profit, net cash flow less capital expenditures, and net earnings from year to year for the years presented.

(b) Evaluate Vodafone's performance. Which trend seems most favorable? Which trend seems least favorable? What are the implications of these trends for vodafone's strategy? Explain.

1. The average price of a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline was reported to be $3.44 in northern Kentucky. Use this price as the population mean, and assume the population standard deviation is $0.30.
   1. What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 50 service stations is within ±$.06 of the population mean?
   2. What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 100 service stations is within ±$.06 of the population mean?

2. The Wall Street Journal reported that automobile crashes cost the United States $162 billion annually. The average cost per person for crashes in the Tampa, Florida, area was reported to be $1900. Suppose this average cost was based on a sample of 50 persons who had been involved in car crashes and that the population standard deviation is known to be $500. What is the 90% confidence interval of the average cost per person for crashes in Tampa? What would you recommend if the study required a margin of error of $150 or less?

Consider two tests that could be used to evaluate a university’s effectiveness at teaching critical thinking and communication skills to undergraduates. The first test is a multiple-choice test with questions on reading comprehension, language, and math, similar to the SAT in the United States. The second test provides the students with a single real world case involving practical issues and data, including quantitative data, from several sources. The product that students produce for the second test is a memo, which must suggest a particular response to the case and support the decision with evidence and analysis. The second test is graded using specific criteria on critical thinking and communication (a rubric).

Discus the validity of each test for assessing the level of critical thinking and communication skills of students. Compare and contrast the two tests in terms of validity.

Discuss the reliability of each test for assessing the level of critical thinking and communication skills of students. Compare and contrast the two tests in terms of reliability.

The Zagat Restaurant Survey provides food, decor, and service ratings for some of the top restaurants across the United States. For 18 restaurants located in a certain city, the average price of a dinner, including one drink and tip, was $48.60. You are leaving on a business trip to this city and will eat dinner at three of these restaurants. Your company will reimburse you for a maximum of $50 per dinner. Business associates familiar with these restaurants have told you that the meal cost at one-third of these restaurants will exceed $50. Suppose that you randomly select three of these restaurants for dinner. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

(a)

What is the probability that none of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company?

(b)

What is the probability that one of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company?

(c)

What is the probability that two of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company?

(d)

What is the probability that all three of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company?

The Human Toxome Project (HTP) is working to understand the scope of industrial pollution in the human body. Industrial chemicals may enter the body through pollution or as ingredients in consumer products.

In October 2008, the scientists at HTP tested core blood samples for 35 newborn infants in the United States. The cord blood of the "In utero/newborn" group was tested for 430 industrial compounds, pollutants, and other chemicals, including chemicals linked to brain and nervous system toxicity, immune system toxicity, and reproductive toxicity, and fertility problems. There are health concerns about the effects of some chemicals on the brain and nervous system. Upon calculation of the sample, the mean of the amount of the chemical found in the infant's blood is equal to with sample standard deviation equal to.

Construct the 90% confidence interval by

- Clearly explain what model was used and why

- Clearly show your process, if using calculator explain what you did.

- Explain the meaning of the 90% confidence interval in the context of the problem.
