If Indiana stayed the same size in area, but had the same population density as Alaska, how many people would we expect to live in Indiana? How does this compare to the actual population of Indiana?
Since most of you live in the same area or share the same ZIP code, your instructor may assign you different ZIP codes within the same city or different towns or cities. Your instructor may assign you to teams or have you work as an individual. Your instructor may require a written report, or have you make a presentation to the class. Your report or presentation should cover the following points: If findings are presented to the class, be prepared...
An allele, A1, in a diploid population of size N, starts at an allele frequency of 0.7. What is the expected allele frequency in the next generation? In the 100thgeneration? What is the probability that the allele frequency will increase in the next generation? If you follow 100 populations that start with the same conditions for millions of generations, how many would you expect to be fixed for A1?

Q1 According to United Nations, human population reached 7 billion on October 31, 2011. Using this benchmark and an estimated increase of 3 new persons added to the human population every second (i.e., births – deaths = net increase of 3 p/s), calculate the following: a. On what date (day, month, year) in the future will we reach 8 billion? b. What the population was on the day you were born? c. How long it took for our population to...
Part 1 In 1950 the U.S. had a population of 150 million and it was growing at 1.3% a year. Assume no net migration. (10 points total) a. In about how many years will it take for the U.S. population to double? (5 points) b. In 2010 U.S. population was 308 million. Calculate the average annual growth rate of the population over these 60 years. (5 points) Part 2 In year 1, a country has a population of 100 people;...
To obtain a somewhat deeper understanding of the results in Jones and Klenow’s analysis of welfare across countries, let us consider how they actually compute welfare of the citizens in a country, to be distinguished from mere GDP/capita. Jones and Klenow take into account life expectancy, the consumption/output ratio, leisure, and inequality; we will illustrate how they deal with three of these four. The general idea is to use a utility function—an idea borrowed from microeconomics— and to assume that...
ECON 2110: PROBLEM SET 5 - CHAPTER 6 1. You live in Pawnee Indiana where the only suppliers of Soda are Paunch Burger restaurants.
