The ACME coping scale measures social coping behaviors. Nationally, the average score on the ACME scale for adolescent girls is 53 ( = 53), with a standard deviation of 11 (σ = 11). A psychologist developed a behavioral intervention program designed to increase social coping behaviors for adolescent girls. 36 girls participated in the program. Upon completion their average ACME score was 57 (M = 57). Using the α = .05 significance level, determine if the program led to increased coping behaviors.

Consider two countries, A and B, that have the same technology given by Y=L^1/2N^1/2. The two countries have the same land area.

The population growth function in countries A and B are given by g(c)=5c and g(c)=4c, respectively.

For the periods from 0 to T-1 the economies were separated and at their steady states. However, at the beginning of time T, the wall between the two countries collapsed and the two countires were merged.

Making certain assumptions, plot the time path for c and N for the new economy.

Make sure that you state the assumptions.

A new implementation of Merge Sort uses a cutoff variable to use insertion sort for small number of items to be merged (Merging single elements is costly).

1. Give the pseudo code for the merge sort algorithm with a cutoff variable set to 4.

2. Show the trace for top-down merge sort using the following array of characters with a cutoff variable set to 4.

the aggregate supply (AS) curve

1. In the 1990s, the technology revolution caused the wide-spread use of information technology in all areas of production, thus improving productivity and lowering costs; illustrate the effect of this by shifting the aggregate supply (AS) curve in the appropriate direction.

2. Suppose that a new labor law increases the minimum required number of paid vacation days for all full-time employees; illustrate the effect of this by shifting the aggregate supply (AS) curve in the appropriate direction.
