Suppose the table below lists the price and consumption levels of food and clothing during 2015 and 2020, where 2015 reflects the base year relative to current prices in 2020. Year Prices Consumption Food Clothing Food Clothing 2015 2675 9480 500 300 2020 2250 11560 650 260 1.1 State the formulas for a Laspeyres Index and Paasche Index given the data provided. (Hint: Refer to the definitions) (2) 1.2 Based on your answer in Q1.1, calculate (a) the Laspeyres Index and (b) the Paasche Index. (3)

The numbers of polio cases in the world are shown in the table for various years. Year Number of Polio Cases (thousands) 1988 1992 1996 2000 2005 2007 350 138 32 6 3.2 1.3 Let f(t) be the number of polio cases (in thousands) t years after 1980. Copy the data to Desmos to draw a scatterplot of the data. Make sure to adjust the years so they represent years after 1980. a) Is it better to model the data with a linear or with an exponential model? Select an answer b) Use regression in Desmos to find an appropriate model for f. Make sure to check Log mode in the parameter window in Desmos if you are fitting an exponential model. f(t) places. Round the coefficients to 4 decimal Hint: Use the variable t from the drop down menu when entering the equation. Do not just type in t. c) Predict the number of polio cases in 2019. d) Find the approximate half-life of the number of polio cases. Round the answer to one decimal place. years

C8. According to the Pew Research Center (2015), recent immigrants are better educated than earlier immigrants to the United States. The change was attributed to the availability of better education in each region or country of origin. The percentage of immigrants 25 years of age and older who completed at least high school is reported in this table for 1970 to 2013. Write a statement describing the change over time in the percentage who completed at least a high school degree. 1970 1980 1990 2000 2013 Mexico 14 17 26 30 48 Other Central/South America 57 53 60 66 Asia 75 72 75 82 84 48 68 81 87 95 Europe 36 48 52 58 72 Caribbean 81 91 88 85 85 Africa Source: Pew Research Center, Modern Immigration Wave Brings 59 Million to U.S., Driving Population Growth and Change Through 2065, 2015.

Below is data collected over 6 specific years. The data collected is the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the cost of a slice of tuna. We would like to build a model using the CPI to predict the cost of a slice of pizza in a given year. Year   1960 1973 1986 1995 2002 2003 CPI (x)   30.2 48.3 112.3 162.2 191.9 197.8 Cost of a slice of tuna(y) 0.15 0.35 1.00 1.25 1.75 2.00   Plot the data. Are we justified in creating a Linear Regression model to predict the price of a pizza slice using the CPI? Why or why not? Calculate the descriptive statistics. Calculate the sums of squares Calculate the slope, intercept, and correlation. What is this correlation value telling us? Assemble the prediction equation, and interpret the slope within the context of the problem. State the hypotheses for the hypothesis test for regression.

2. Which of the following statements is false? Explain your answer. A. A price index can be used to compare changes in prices over time. B. A graph of the average monthly price of gas is an example of an index. C. Price index values are often calculated relative to a base value at a certain point in time or in a certain place. D. Index values can be greater than 100.
