U.S. Population The number of White non-Hispanicindividuals in the U.S. civilian non-institutional population 16 years and older was 153.1 million in 2000and is projected to be 169.4 million in 2050.(Source: U.S. Census Bureau)a. Find the average annual rate of change in population during the period 2000–2050, with the appropriate units.b. Use the slope from part (a) and the population in2000 to write the equation of the line associatedwith 2000 and 2050.c. What does this model project the population to bein 2020?
World Military Expenditure The following chart shows total military and arms trade expenditure from 2011–2020 (t = 1 represents 2011).
†A bar graph titled "World military expenditure" has a horizontal t-axis labeled "Year since 2010" and a vertical axis labeled "$ (billions)". The bar graph has 10 bars. Each bar is associated with a label and an approximate value as listed below.
1: 1,800 billion dollars
2: 1,775 billion dollars
3: 1,750 billion dollars
4: 1,730 billion dollars
5: 1,760 billion dollars
6: 1,760 billion dollars
7: 1,850 billion dollars
8: 1,900 billion dollars
9: 1,950 billion dollars
10: 1,980 billion dollars
(a)
If you want to model the expenditure figures with a function of the form
f(t) = at2 + bt + c,
would you expect the coefficient a to be positive or negative? Why? HINT [See "Features of a Parabola" in this section.]
We would expect the coefficient to be positive because the curve is concave up.
We would expect the coefficient to be negative because the…
Q1. The table provided gives data on indexes of output per hour (X) and real compensation per hour (Y) for the business and nonfarm business sectors of the U.S. economy for 1960–2005. The base year of the indexes is 1992 = 100 and the indexes are seasonally adjusted.
a. Plot Y against X for the two sectors separately.
b. What is the economic theory behind the relationship between the two variables? Does the scattergram support the theory?
c. Estimate the OLS regression of Y on X.
Note: on the table ( 1. Output refers to real gross domestic product in the sector. 2. Wages and salaries of employees plus employers’ contributions for social insurance and private benefit plans. 3. Hourly compensation divided by the consumer price index for all urban consumers for recent quarters.)

When was energy consumption decreasing? Energy (millions of Btu)arrow_forwardQ. Table gives data on gold prices, the Consumer Price Index (CPI), and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Index for the United States for the period 1974 –2006. The NYSE Index includes most of the stocks listed on the NYSE, some 1500-plus. a. Plot in the same scattergram gold prices, CPI, and the NYSE Index. b. An investment is supposed to be a hedge against inflation if its price and /or rate of return at least keeps pace with inflation. To test this hypothesis, suppose you decide to fit the following model, assuming the scatterplot in (a) suggests that this is appropriate: Gold pricet = β1 + β2 CPIt + ut NYSE indext = β1 + β2 CPIt + ut Note that if beta2 = 1 the response exactly grows with CPI Thank you!arrow_forward4. Projection indicate thtat the global demand for oil will be 103 million barrels per day in 2015. this is about a 23% increase over the daily demand in 2005.

- Q. Table provided gives data on gross domestic product (GDP) for the United States for the years 1959–2005. a. Plot the GDP data in current and constant (i.e., 2000) dollars against time. b. Letting Y denote GDP and X time (measured chronologically starting with 1 for 1959, 2 for 1960, through 47 for 2005), see if the following model fits the GDP data: Yt = β1 + β2 Xt + ut Estimate this model for both current and constant-dollar GDP. c. How would you interpret β2? d. If there is a difference between β2 estimated for current-dollar GDP and that estimated for constant-dollar GDP, what explains the difference? e. From your results what can you say about the nature of inflation in the United States over the sample period?arrow_forwardWorld Population The low long-range world population numbers and projections for the years 1995–2150 are given by the equation y = -0.00036x2+0.0385x + 5.823, where x is the number of yearsafter 1990 and y is in billions. During what yearsdoes this model estimate the population to be above6 billion?arrow_forwardEXERCISE 1.3arrow_forward
