Question
- Several of the U.S. occupations that are projected to have the fastest job growth during the decade of the 2020’s are in either the medical or the renewable energy sectors of the economy. For example, the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects that “wind turbine service technicians” will be the fastest growing occupation during the decade, with an expected growth rate of 64% after 10 years. “Solar panel installers” is projected to be the third-fastest growing occupation, with an expected growth rate of 51% . Meanwhile, “nurse practitioners” ( projected growth), “occupational therapy assistants” (35% projected growth), and “home health and personal care aides” (34% projected growth) are all among the six occupations projected to grow the fastest.
- At the beginning of this decade, there were 7,000 wind turbine technicians in the United States. How many are there projected to be by the end of the decade?

Average starting salaries for students using a placement service at a university have been steadily increasing. A study of the last four graduating classes indicates the following average salaries: $30,000, $32,000, $34,500, and $36,000 (last graduating class). Predict the starting salary for the next graduating class using a simple exponential smoothing model with a = 0.25. Assume that the initial forecast was $30,000 (so that the forecast and the actual were the same).arrow_forwardGenerally, what is plotted on the x-axis and y-axis on a timeplot?arrow_forward
- An October 26, 2020 news report raised alarms that the population of North Atlantic Right Whales had declined a dramatic 11% with increased risk for the whales extinction in the near future. Whale deaths are largely caused by collisions with fishing boats and by whale entanglement in fishing nets and lobster trap gear. “Since the population peaked at 481 whales in 2011, there have been 103 births, but roughly 218 whales have died, presumably because of human activity – a rate of 24 deaths per year.” Subtracting births from death, what is the yearly net decrease in the Right Whale population between 2011 and 2020? Create a linear mathematical model for the decline in Right Whale population since 2011 (i.e. let 2011 be year zero). The article says that in 2018 there were 366 Right Whales counted. How accurate is your linear model when compared to the 2018 whale count?arrow_forwardPersonal care aide is an occupation that is growing quickly.

- Many investors and financial analysts believe the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gives a good barometer of the overall stock market. On January 31, 2006, 9 of the 30 stocks making up the DJIA increased in price (The Wall Street Journal, February 1, 2006). On the basis of this fact, a financial analyst claims we can assume that 30% of the stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) went up the same day.A sample of 80 stocks traded on the NYSE that day showed that 11 went up.You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of stocks that went up is is significantly less than 0.3. You use a significance level of α=0.02α=0.02.What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)test statistic = What is the p-value for this sample?
