We are given the average pay of people in all 50 states, let us represent them as :
( x1 , x2 , x3 ..... x50)
For calculating the average which is the sum of all the observation divided by the total number of observations.
So in this particular case we observing the pay of the population.
so we would also need the population of all these 50 states, let us represent them as :
(n1 , n2 , n3 ......n50)
Now let us consider state 1 :
average#1 = sum of pay of all people in #1 /Population of #1
x1*n1 = sum of pay of all people in #1
so sum of pay all the 50 states would be :
( x1*n1 + x2*n2 + x3*n3 ........... x50*n50 )
Population of 50 states we know is
(n1 +n2 +n3 ............n50 )
Average of the country = ( x1*n1 + x2*n2 + x3*n3 ........... x50*n50 ) / (n1 +n2 +n3 ............n50 )
Suppose you are given the average pay of all working people in each of the 50...
Suppose that you observe that income inequality in Country A is higher than income inequality in the United States. Suppose you also observe that on average immigrants from Country A have lower skill levels than people in the United States. Is this evidence for or against the Roy Model or neither? Explain.
A recent issue of the AARP Bulletin reported that the average weekly pay for a woman with a high school degree is $520. Suppose you would like to determine if the average weekly pay for all working women is significantly greater than that for women with a high school degree. Data providing the weekly pay for a sample of 50 working women are available in the file named WeeklyPay. These data are consistent with the findings reported in the AARP...
need explanations. 1) For this question, assume that 1980 is the base year. Given macroeconomic conditions in the United States over the past three decades, we know that A) real GDP and nominal GDP were equal in 1980. B) nominal GDP is always smaller than real GDP since 1980. C) real GDP and nominal GDP would be equal for the entire period. D) real GDP is larger than nominal GDP from 2002 to 2008. E) none of the above 2)...
In this module you learned about Medical Tourism and why people from the United States may travel to other countries to receive health care services. Please locate an article online and discuss a specific occurrence where someone traveled from a foreign country to the United States for health care. Explain why they chose to come to the United States and if they had options to seek the care elsewhere. Would you have made the same decision?
1) Someone you know claims that the average earnings of all waiters in the United States is $3/hour. Let Y be a random variable (i.i.d.) equal to the hourly earnings of a waiter in the U.S. You wish to gather evidence (collect a sample of data) and test the null hypothesis that the average hourly earnings of all waiters in the United States (Uy) is equal to $3 against the two-sided alternative hypothesis that it is not equal to $3....
3. Suppose you have 24 hours to allocate between leisure and working at $10 an hour. One day the government simultaneously institutes a new program consisting of two policies: a 50% income tax and a plan whereby everybody in the country receives a gift from the government of $60 a day. (a) Draw the two budget lines (you may draw a total of three budget lines since the program contains two separate parts.) (b) Suppose that the government chose the...
Suppose you are conducting a study with a total of 50 participants from five different regions of the country, and you want to determine if the average blood pressure is different among these groups. What statistical test would you use?
discrete math 1. Suppose that three friends, all heavy smokers, each have a 50-50 chance of developing lung cancer (a) Tracking whether each of the friends develops hung cancer, write down the sample space by listing its elements. Be clear about any notation that you choose to use. (b) What is the probability that exactly one of the friends develops lung cancer? (c) What is the probability that at least two of the friends develop lung cancer? 2. Six people...
USA Today reported that about 20% of all people in the United States are illiterate. Suppose you take seven people at random off a city street. (a) Make a histogram showing the probability distribution of the number of illiterate people out of the seven people in the sample (b) Find the mean and standard deviation of this probability distribution. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) μ = people σ = people Find the expected number of people in this sample who...
Please read the following and answer the question in bold. Thanks! answer questions in the format in which its being asked. Advertising for international companies involves being aware of cultural differences. Use Wendy's Restaurant to identify advertising that is used in more than one country for similar, or the same, product or service. Examine the components of the advertisement, and then explain how and why it is likely to have been changed to reflect the local conditions. Next, imagine that...
