Suppose that there are two otherwise-identical vacation destinations, but one has a 0.2% greater risk of death due to a riskier airport and roads. The total price of a vacation in the more dangerous destination is $10,000 less than in the safer destination. Both vacation destinations are well-frequented, but not fully booked. All vacation- goers value their lives identically. What is the implied VSL (Value of Statistical Life) among these vacation-goers?

15. Commercial real estate prices and rental rates suffered substantial declines in 2008 and 2009 (Newsweek, July 27, 2009). These declines were particularly severe in AsiaB annual lease rates in Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore declined by 40% or more. Even with such large declines, annual lease rates in Asia were still higher than those in many cities in Europe. Annual lease rates for a sample of 30 commercial properties in Hong Kong showed a mean of $1,114 per square meter with a standard deviation of $230.

Most Australian youth-sports leagues separate athletes by birthdate, and the cutoff date is January 1st. Thus, those children born in January and February have some physical advantages in youth sports over those born in November and December. A recent studysuggests that those physical advantages enjoyed early in life impact the likelihood of a child becoming a professional athlete. The table gives the number of Australian-born 2009 Australian Football League players born in different months of the year, as well as the proportion of births expected if the birthdates of the athletes matched the distribution of all births nationally. Is there evidence that the distribution of birthdates of AFL athletes is not the same as the distribution of birthdates nationally?   Birthdates nationally in Australia and for Australian football players   Proportion Actual for Months Nationally AFL players Jan-Mar 0.248 196 Apr-June 0.251 162 Jul-Sep 0.254 137…

Tourism is extremely important to the economy of Florida. Hotel occupancy is an often-reported measure of visitor volume and visitor activity (Orlando Sentinel, May 19, 2018). Hotel occupancy data for February in two consecutive years are as follows. Current Year 1,476 1,800 Occupied Rooms Total Rooms 1,422 1,800 a. Formulate the hypothesis test that can be used to determine whether there has been an increase in the proportion of rooms occupied over the one-year period. Let P₁= population proportion of rooms occupied for current year P2 population proportion of rooms occupied for previous year - P2 less than or equal to 0 greater than 0 Ho P1 Ha P1 P2 b. What is the estimated proportion of hotel rooms occupied each year (to 2 decimals)? Current year .80 X Previous Year .77 c. Conduct a hypothesis test. What is the p-value (to 4 decimals)? Use Table 1 from Appendix B. Previous Year p-value = 0.0166 Using a 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion? We can conclude that there…
