Kimberly’s story will wreck the hardest of hearts. Kimberly has lived on the streets since the age of 7, which is when her father murdered Kimberly’s mother for being a heroin addict.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is a top corporate manager whose primary job is to lead the day-to-day running of the corporation and whose primary goal is to maximize shareholder value. To incentivize CEOs, many large corporations have been compensating CEOs with various forms of pay-for-performance in addition to a fixed annual salary. According to some estimates, over the last two decades CEO compensation in the United States has on average increased by 600%, with a disproportionate increase in equity-based compensation (e.g. stock options). These increases in executive compensation, particularly stock options, have generated enormous controversy. The recent high-profile corporate scandals and financial market tsunami have led some observers to argue that the excessive focus on shareholder value maximization in general, and inadequately designed executive compensation in particular, have led to managerial gross misbehavior as well as short-termism. Some argue that rapid increases in executive compensation represent unmerited transfers of shareholder wealth to top executives with limited if any incentive effects, and at times have led to outright frauds. The problem is exacerbated when the CEO is also the chairman of the board of directors. The adverse effects of excessive CEO compensation are particularly severe in countries where institutional checks such as shareholder protection and shareholder activism are weak.

40 percent and the personal income tax rate is 50 percent. For simplicity, assume that all corporate profits (after corporate taxes are paid) are distributed as dividends in the year they are earned and that such dividends are subject to tax at the personal income tax rate.

Two opposing opinions were shown to a random sample of 2,150 buyers of a particular political news app in the United States. The opinions, shown in a random order to each buyer, were as follows:

Opinion A: The issue of equal pay is more important than increasing the minimum wage.

Opinion B: Increasing the minimum wage is more important than the issue of equal pay. Buyers were to choose the opinion that most closely reflected their own. If they felt neutral on the topics, they were to choose a third option of "Neutral."

The outcomes were as follows: 50% chose Opinion A, 42% chose Opinion B, and 8% chose "Neutral."

Part A: Create and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all US buyers of this particular app who would have chosen Opinion B. (3 points)

Part B: The number of buyers that chose Opinion B and the number of buyers that did not choose Opinion B are both greater than 10. Why must this inference condition be met? (3 points)

Part C: Would a two-sample z-interval for a difference between proportions be an appropriate procedure to find if the difference in proportions between US buyers who would have chosen Opinion B and US buyers who would have chosen Opinion A is statistically significant? Explain why or why not. (4 points)
