Brief Reflection of the movie "Om Shanti Om"
Describe your experience watching the film and your initial thoughts about and feelings towards the film. Did it remind you of other films or experiences watching films (produced in Bollywood or Hollywood), and did you like the film? In this reflection, share how much previous exposure you have had to Bollywood films and mention if you had previous conceptions of Bollywood or Indian cinema before watching the film. Share how or if your conceptions about Bollywood were challenged or confirmed after watching Om Shanti Om. If you have previous experience watching Bollywood or Indian cinema, share how or if your experience watching Om Shanti Om may have differed from your experience watching other Bollywood cinema. What do you think Om Shanti Om is suggesting about the nature of Bollywood cinema as a national cinema of India? How does it use what these authors call “self-reference” to make this argument about Bollywood?

Statistic
Q4 (a) On a sunny day, a theme park had 1,000 visitors. According to the attendance record, 800 visitors took a ride on the roller coaster; 450 visitors took a ride on the merry-go-round. It is estimated that among those visitors who took a ride on the roller coaster, 40% of them also took a ride on the merry-go-round. A visitor on that day is selected at random.
i. What is the probability that this visitor rode on both rides?
ii. What is the probability that this visitor rode on no rides at all?
iii. If this visitor has taken a ride on the merry-go-round, what is the probability that he has not ridden on the roller coaster?
Q4(b) In a tutorial session, there are 11 Japanese students, 6 American students and 8 Australian students. Among these 25 students, a group of 5 students is selected randomly for the first presentation.
i. How many different groups can be formed?
ii. What is the probability that this group consists of only Japanese students?
iii. What is the probability that this group consists of exactly 2 Japanese students and 3 American students?
Q4(c) Three urns contain colored balls. Urn 1 contains 3 red, 4 white and 1 blue balls. Urn 2 contains 4 red, 3 white and 2 blue balls. Urn 3 contains 1 red, 2 white and 3 blue balls. One urn is chosen at random and a ball is drawn from it. If the ball is red, what is the probability that it came from Urn 3?

As part of a study designed to compare hybrid and similarly equipped conventional vehicles, a group tested a variety of classes of hybrid and all-gas model cars and sport utility vehicles (SUVs). Suppose the following data show the miles-per-gallon rating obtained for two hybrid small cars, two hybrid midsize cars, two hybrid small SUVs, and two hybrid midsize SUVs; also shown are the miles per gallon obtained for eight similarly equipped conventional models.
| Class | Type | MPG |
|---|---|---|
| Small Car | Hybrid | 36 |
| Small Car | Conventional | 29 |
| Small Car | Hybrid | 43 |
| Small Car | Conventional | 33 |
| Midsize Car | Hybrid | 27 |
| Midsize Car | Conventional | 23 |
| Midsize Car | Hybrid | 32 |
| Midsize Car | Conventional | 25 |
| Small SUV | Hybrid | 28 |
| Small SUV | Conventional | 20 |
| Small SUV | Hybrid | 29 |
| Small SUV | Conventional | 21 |
| Midsize SUV | Hybrid | 23 |

At the α = 0.05 level of significance, test for significant effects due to class, type, and interaction.
Find the value of the test statistic for class. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Find the p-value for class. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
p-value =
State your conclusion about class.
Because the p-value ≤ α = 0.05, class is not significant.
Because the p-value > α = 0.05, class is significant.
Because the p-value > α = 0.05, class is not significant.
Because the p-value ≤ α = 0.05, class is significant.
Find the value of the test statistic for type. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Find the p-value for type. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
p-value =
State your conclusion about type.
Because the p-value ≤ α = 0.05, type is not significant.
Because the p-value ≤ α = 0.05, type is significant.
Because the p-value > α = 0.05, type is not significant.
Because the p-value > α = 0.05, type is significant.
Find the value of the test statistic for interaction between class and type. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Find the p-value for interaction between class and type. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
p-value =
State your conclusion about interaction between class and type.
Because the p-value ≤ α = 0.05, interaction between class and type is significant.
Because the p-value > α = 0.05, interaction between class and type is not significant.
Because the p-value ≤ α = 0.05, interaction between class and type is not significant.
Because the p-value > α = 0.05, interaction between class and type is significant.

Some of your family members are having a discussion about politics. You try to run away, but unfortunately you can’t. Your cousin says, “Man, poor people are bums! They just want to be on Instagram all day, showing off expensive stuff they bought instead of going to work.” Your aunt responds by saying, “I don’t know. When I came to the United States, you could get a decent paying job, but now a lot of people are working, but they’re still poor. They’re not getting paid enough, and they have no benefits.”
a. Explain what theory of poverty your cousin believes. How does this theory explain the existence of poverty in our society? How does this theory propose to solve poverty?
b. What theory of poverty is your aunt expressing? How does this theory explain the existence of poverty in our society? How does this theory propose to solve poverty?

A closed economy has two factors of production: capital and labor. The production function is known to exhibit constant returns to scale. The capital stock is about 4 times one yearís real GDP. Approximately 8% of GDP is used to replace depreciating capital. Labor income is 70% of real GDP. Real GDP grows at an average rate of 4% per year. Assume the economy is at a steady state. (a) Is the capital per e§ective worker lower or larger than it would have been in the golden rule steady state? [To receive points on this question, you need to show me your calculations] (b) [growth accounting] If the population grows at a rate 1% per year, Önd what portion of output growth is due to: (i) an increase in capital; (ii) an increase in labor; (iii) an increase in total factor productivity.
