there are essentially three types of economies, state capitalism, social capitalism and private capitalism. In the United States we use a form of private capitalism, but can you explain the difference between the three forms of capitalism? Which form do you think is best and why?

Many American businesses that use corporate structures choose to incorporate in Delaware even if they are physically based in another state. Legally, why might a business from, say, New York choose to be a Delaware corporation rather than just a New York Corporation? Explain.

Coffee drinking has transformed over the last twenty years from the thing that your parents did in the morning over breakfast to the trendy thing to do as a social exercise. Likewise, energy drinks like Red Bull and Rock Star have burst into the social zeitgeist with enthusiastic fans and consumers. As a society, how do you feel about the notion that we may be overstimulated? From the constant barrage of advertising to the Internet age of instant information, how does the seeing rampant consumption of caffeine add or detract from the society at large? Is it a good or bad thing? Should we be concerned or is this just a fad that will eventually fade away?

Let x be a random variable representing dividend yield of bank stocks. We may assume that x has a normal distribution with σ = 1.9%. A random sample of 10 bank stocks gave the following yields (in percents). 5.7 4.8 6.0 4.9 4.0 3.4 6.5 7.1 5.3 6.1 The sample mean is x bar = 5.38%. Suppose that for the entire stock market, the mean dividend yield is μ = 4.7%. Do these data indicate that the dividend yield of all bank stocks is higher than 4.7%? Use α = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance? (Enter a number.) State the null and alternate hypotheses. Will you use a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test? H0: μ = 4.7%; H1: μ ≠ 4.7%; two-tailed H0: μ > 4.7%; H1: μ = 4.7%; right-tailed H0: μ = 4.7%; H1: μ > 4.7%; right-tailed H0: μ = 4.7%; H1: μ < 4.7%; left-tailed (b) What sampling distribution will you use? Explain the rationale for your choice of sampling distribution. The standard normal, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with known σ. The Student's t, since n is large with unknown σ. The standard normal, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with unknown σ. The Student's t, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with known σ. Compute the z value of the sample test statistic. (Enter a number. Round your answer to two decimal places.) (c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Enter a number. Round your answer to four decimal places.) Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value. (Select the correct graph.) The graph of a bell-shaped distribution has a horizontal axis labeled at -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 and 3. The curve enters the viewing window just above the axis at -3, reaches a peak at 0, and exits the viewing window just above the axis at 3. The area under the curve from about -1.1 to the left is shaded. The graph of a bell-shaped distribution has a horizontal axis labeled at -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 and 3. The curve enters the viewing window just above the axis at -3, reaches a peak at 0, and exits the viewing window just above the axis at 3. The areas under the curve from about -1.1 to the left and from about 1.1 to the right are shaded. The graph of a bell-shaped distribution has a horizontal axis labeled at -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 and 3.

Are the data statistically significant at level α? At the α = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant. At the α = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant. At the α = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant. At the α = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant. (e) State your conclusion in the context of the application. There is sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to conclude that the average yield for bank stocks is higher than that of the entire stock market. There is insufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to conclude that the average yield for bank stocks is higher than that of the entire stock market.

Suppose that a city in your state is trying to attract a sports tournament, which would entail spending a significant amount of money on marketing of the event and other costs that have no intrinsic value to residents of the city. The city leaders argue that hosting the sports tournament will increase commerce activity around the city because of the visitors who will be in town for the tournament. Consequently, they are lobbying you as the state governor to give them grants, which they say (credibly) is the only way they can afford to host the tournament. For your decision, should it matter whether it is a tournament between in-state teams or national teams? Explain.
