The mayor of a town has proposed a plan for the construction of a new community. A political study took a sample of 1000 voters in the town and found that 69% of the residents favored construction. Using the data, a political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is more than 65%. Testing at the 0.02 level, is there enough evidence to support the strategist's claim?
Step 1 of 6: State the null and alternative hypotheses.
Step 2 of 6:Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Step 3 of 6:Specify if the test is one-tailed or two-tailed.
Step 4 of 6:Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis, H0
Step 5 of 6:Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis
Step 6 of 6:State the conclusion of the hypothesis test

The mayor of a town has proposed a plan for the construction of a new community. A political study took a sample of 1700 voters in the town and found that 73% of the residents favored construction. Using the data, a political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is more than 70%. Testing at the 0.05 level, is there enough evidence to support the strategist's claim?
Step 1 of 7: State the null and alternative hypotheses.
Step 2 of 5 : Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Step 3 of 5 : Specify if it is one tailed or two tailed

Please give answers of the following questions:
1. What are the strengths and limitations of using estimates of total economic value to
develop environment policy recommendations? How does your answer relate to your
worldview (anthropocentric or ecocentric)?
2. Do you think contingent valuation should be widely used as a tool for developing environmental policy recommendations? What do you think is the main strength of CV?
What do you think is its main weakness?
3. Suppose that you are asked to conduct a cost-benefit study of a proposed coal-fired
power plant. The plant will be built on the outskirts of a residential area and will emit a
certain volume of pollutants. It will require a substantial amount of water for its cooling
system. Industries in the region argue that the additional power is urgently needed, but
local residents oppose construction. How would you evaluate social and environmental
costs and weigh them against economic benefits?
4. As mentioned in the text, under U.S. law federal agencies must use cost-benefit analysis to evaluate major policy proposals. Do you agree with this requirement, in particular for environmental policies? How much weight do you believe should be given to the results of cost-benefit analyses when making policy decisions? Discuss how economic, health, and environmental criteria should be balanced in formulating regulations.
5. Suppose that the government of a developing country is considering the establishment of a national park in a scenic forested area. Local opposition arises from those who wish to use the forest land for timbering and agriculture. But the national park would draw both local and foreign visitors as tourists. Could cost-benefit analysis aid the decision on whether to establish the park? What factors would you consider, and how would you measure their economic value?
6. In what respects is “natural capital” similar to human-made capital, and in what respects does it differ? We often speak of a “return to capital,” meaning the stream of income generated by a capital investment. Can we speak of a return to natural capital? What are examples of investment in natural capital? Who is motivated to make such investments? Who would suffer if such investments were not made, or if “disinvestment” occurs due to resource depletion or environmental degradation?
7. Is the concept of optimal scale for an economy useful? If so, how would you go about
determining it? Do you think that economies such as those in the United States, Europe,
and Japan have reached optimal scale? Exceeded it? How about the economies of Latin America, Asia, and Africa? How would you relate the concept of optimal scale in the global economy to economic growth in national economies at different levels of development?
8. Distinguish the concepts of strong and weak sustainability, and give some practical examples, other than those cited in the text, for their application. Where is each concept most appropriate? Which economic policy measures are relevant to achieving sustainability?

A construction company is evaluating an investment project consisting in developing a new residential building on a plot of land. The cost of the land, to be paid in t=0, is €500K and construction would take 2 years. Construction costs are estimated to be €650K in t=1 and €650K in t=2. The building would then generate an annual cash flow of €250K in perpetuity, starting from t=3. If the cost of capital is 8%, the NPV of this project is closest to:
A. €1,190K B. €1,020K C. €1,466K D. €1,357K
