6) Those who advocate that the Fed target monetary aggregates, usually argue that the Fed should not alter its monetary targets in response to temporary changes in macroeconomic conditions, yet those who advocate interest rate targeting never recommend that the Fed maintain a constant federal funds rate target.

In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 4747 subjects were treated with garlic in a processed tablet form. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes (before−after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 5.25.2 and a standard deviation of 16.6. Construct a 99%confidence interval estimate of the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment. What does the confidence interval suggest about the effectiveness of garlic in reducing LDL cholesterol?
What is the confidence interval estimate of the population mean μ?

When someone is trying to lose weight, the approach that generally has the best outcome in the long-term is slow, moderate weight loss with an emphasis on forming new habits for life and making small changes that are manageable and tolerable, such as eating a salad before each meal and adding 10 minutes of exercise each day as a starting point. Extreme diets which restrict or cut out whole food groups (low carb diets, low fat diets) can produce fast results but people on these diets tend to gain the weight back over time.

Calculate the future sum of $8,000, given that it will be held in the bank for 9 years at an APR of 4 percent.
Recalculate part a using compounding periods that are (1) semiannual and (2) bimonthly (every two months).
Recalculate parts a and b for an APR of 8 percent.
Recalculate part a using a time horizon of 18 years (the APR is still 4 percent).
With respect to the effect of changes in the stated interest rate and holding periods on future sums in parts c and d, what conclusions do you draw when you compare these figures with the answers found in parts a and b?
