This week we will be discussing measures of economic well-being. Read the following short article from the Office of National Statistics from the U.K. which discusses different measures of economic well-being: https://blog.ons.gov.uk/2017/07/06/beyond-gdp-measuring-the-economic-well-being-of-individuals/ For this assignment, we will narrow down to the economic well-being of the St. Louis region (or another region you choose). As the article indicates there are different measures of well-being. You are interested in creating a Hypothesis Test about the economic well-being of the area. Discuss the following issues: First, think about your research hypothesis and justify it briefly. Remember, a hypothesis is a well-thought and untested proposition. What is the null hypothesis? What is the parameter you are interested in? (i.e., the measure of well-being). Is it going to be a Lower-Tail, Upper-Tail or Two-Tailed test? What is the data that you need and how will you collect the data? What does rejecting the null hypothesis mean for your test? What does failing to reject the null mean for your test?
