Assume that the mean SAT score of students admitted to Northeastern Illinois University is 1090. The members of the Psychology Department believe that students who decide to major in Psychology have higherSAT scores than the general population of students at the university. A sample of N= 10 newly declared Psychology majors consent to have their entrance records reviewed.

Their scores are as follows: 1276, 1248, 1066, 1106, 1138, 1215, 1168, 1185, 933, and 1425.Can the department conclude that Psychology majors have higher SAT scores than the university as a whole?

Create a recommendation for a new client wishing to adopt a retirement plan, providing support for why you believe this is perhaps the best plan.

The new client is a US-based subsidiary of a German pharmaceutical firm. It began hiring US-based employees less than a year ago and currently has about 35 hired. The firm is finding it challenging to compete with larger companies here in the US without offering benefits similar to those larger firms such as retirement plans. The CFO of the firm has come to you and is giving you the following fact set in addition to the above:

  • Anticipate hiring another 70 employees in the next 24 months,
  • they would like a very high degree of latitude with respect to company contributions,
  • they are willing to make a commitment to low-level contributions at this time however only for those employees who are contributing themselves,
  • currently half of their workforce, and within 24 months still about one third of their workforce is anticipated to make more than $130,000 a year in compensation

12.

A wonderful, smart student named “SHINY STAR” enrolled in an online college, called “SUBPERB 4-YEAR TURN YOUR LIFE INTO A MILLION DOLLARS UNIVERSITY.”

When Shiny Star was meeting with his advisor, the advisor told Shiny Star that the college was one of the cheapest colleges around.

However, 2 years into his degree, Shiny Star compared prices and realized that other colleges around were much, much cheaper than “SUBPERB 4-YEAR TURN YOUR LIFE INTO A MILLION DOLLARS UNIVERSITY.”

Shiny Star was upset. He sued the school in District Court, claiming the school had violated competition laws and false advertising laws.

In defense, the University argued that its’ enrollment agreement clearly contained a requirement that all disputes be arbitrated. Shiny Star signed this agreement when he paid and enrolled in classes. The University presented the signed agreement to arbitrate and the District Court dismissed Shiny Star’s case.

This is an example of a contract that agrees to the place or the manner in which the lawsuit will be handled.

What is the legal term for such an agreement to handle the case through arbitration, for example?

Economics is everywhere – even in South Park. If you’re not familiar, South Park is an animated sitcom for adults featuring the adventures of four grade-school boys in the town of South Park, Colorado. In season 13, episode 14, the boys went to Pi Pi’s Water Park. Everybody is peeing in the pool and the pee concentration ends up being so high that it causes a flood that destroys the place. You can watch a clip of the episode here:

Tragedy of the Commons on South Park - Peeing in the Pool  

While this is a silly example of tragedy of the commons, there are far more serious examples.

"More widespread wearing of face masks could prevent tens of thousands of deaths by COVID-19, epidemiologists and mathematicians project.

A model from the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation shows that near-universal wearing of cloth or homemade masks could prevent between 17,742 and 28,030 deaths across the US before Oct. 1.

The group, which advises the White House as well as state and local governments, is submitting the model for peer review, says Theo Vos., Professor of Health Metrics Sciences at IHME.

Another projection developed by researchers at Arizona State University in April showed that 24–65% of projected deaths could be prevented in Washington state in April and May if 80% of people wore cloth or homemade masks in public.

These projections shed light on the promises face masks might hold as COVID-19 cases surge in some states and more local authorities mandate the wearing of face masks."

There are several people against face mask wearing despite the recommendations from scientists and healthcare officials. See an example below:

Viewers furious with Walmart shoppers not wearing face masks

There are several options to solving or preventing the tragedy of the commons. Think about what the scientists are saying about how "Face Masks" can reduce the spread of COVID-19 and then answer the following questions:

  1. Does failure to wear a face mask present a tragedy of the commons? Why or Why not?
  2. What are some of the issues/concerns/problems with each of the possible “solutions” to the tragedy of the commons (South Park and the face mask issue)? Do you know of any examples where one of these solutions has been successfully implemented?
  3. Can you think of any other examples (silly or serious) of tragedy of the commons?
  4. What other economic concepts are presented in the South Park clip and/or the paragraph about face mask?
  5. How are externalities related to the concept of the tragedy of the commons? Are the solutions to each similar or different? How?

Economics Hypothetical Scenarios: Please Answer both of them thank you

1.a) Think about two people: a poor person and a rich person. Let each person have the
same nicotine habit (i.e. they consume cigarettes at the same rate) and suppose the
government imposes a tax on cigarettes to pay for health care, who is hurt more by
the tax? Why?

b)Assume that I have a doughnut, and you have a doughnut, and there is one doughnut
lying on the ground.
i) Is this efficient?
ii) If I just take the doughnut from the ground and cram it down my throat without
sharing it with you, is that efficient?
iii) If we fight over it, and smoosh half of it in the fight, is that effcient?

iv) if one of us agree to split half of it in the fight, is that efficient?
v) If a third party offers to split the doughnut fairly between us in exchange for a quarter of the doughnut is that efficient?

vi) If a third party forces us to split the doughnut fairly between us in exchange for a quarter of the doughnut is that efficient?
