In the standard Becker model of discrimination, each firm is associated with a discrimination coefficient of d > 0 and acts as if the wage paid to blacks is wB(1 + d) where wB is the actual hourly wage paid to blacks. Assume whites and blacks are equally productive. The going wage for whites is $18 per hour while the going wage for blacks is $10 per hour. Which of the following will characterize the labor market equilibrium when some employers have discriminatory preferences against hiring black workers?

A) All discriminating employers will hire only white workers.

B) An employer with a discrimination coefficient of 0.8 will hire only white workers.

C) An employer with a discrimination coefficient of 0.9 will hire only black workers.

D) An employer with a discrimination coefficient of 0.6 will hire only black workers.

E) Any employer with a positive discrimination coefficient will hire only white workers

Design a gas power plant that works as a non-ideal Regenerative Brayton cycle by determining the pressure ratio required to optimize the net power output of the cycle. The minimum cycle temperature is 300 K while the maximum cycle temperature is 1780 K. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 85% while that of the compressor is 75%. The effectiveness of the regenerator is to be taken as 0.8 while the gas flow rate is 30 kg/s. A T-s diagram for the cycle should be provided along with a table showing the pressure and temperature of all the states at the optimized point. Also, mention the cycle efficiency as well as the rate of heat addition and rejection at the optimized point taking the working fluid to be (i) air, and (ii) helium. Ignore pressure drops in the heat exchangers and assume constant specific heats at room temperature

1. Betty's works in a steel mill making steel cables. Suppose cable strength can be altered in two different ways: thickness and the amount of molybdenum (an element used to make steel) it has. She wants to figure out the strongest cable she can make so she test several different cable formulas each many times. Below is a portion of the data she uses to run a regression with Thickness and Molydenum predicting Strength:

   Strength (Kilonewton, kN)	Thickness (mm)	Molybdenum (%)
   38.2	8	1.2
   95.1	13	2.2
   74.8	11	1.9
   54.3	9	1.3
   286.5	22	4.1
   24.4	6	0.8
   149.3	15	3.5

   If Betty is making a mistake, what mistake is she making?

   		Multicollinearity
   		She's not making a mistake
   		Reverse causation
   		One of the variables needs a scalar

For several​ years, evidence had been mounting that folic acid reduces major birth defects. In a​ study, doctors enrolled women prior to conception and divided them randomly into two groups. One​ group, consisting of 2722 ​women, took daily multivitamins containing 0.8 mg of folic​ acid; the other​ group, consisting of 2107 ​women, received only trace elements. Major birth defects occurred in 31 cases when the women took folic acid and in 47 cases when the women did not. a. At the 1​% significance​ level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that women who take folic acid are at lesser risk of having children with major birth​ defects? b. Is this study a designed experiment or an observational​ study? Explain your answer.
