Conversion factors are fractions of value 1 that we use to convert units from one measurement to another. 1 feet = 12 inches gives rise to two conversion factors, 1 feet 12 inches and 12 inches 1 feet Use a conversion factor to convert feet to inches. Enter your answer as an integer or a reduced fraction. 1 feet inchesarrow_forwardThe next 3 questions refer to the following: A housecleaning company receives 36 for each house cleaned. The tab below gives the relation between the number of workers and the number houses that can be cleaned per week.

- For each of the following scenarios, indicate whether the relationship between the two variables is positive or negative, as well as which line on the previous graph has a slope that reflects this type of relationship. Hint: The X-axis and Y-axis on the graph are not labeled intentionally. You need to substitute the variables from each scenario for the horizontal and vertical axis. For example, in the first scenario, X-axis should be labeled “ ice-cream" and Y-axis should be labeled "The temperature". Relationship options: positive, negative Line options: A, B, C, D True or False: Line D has a slope of infinity.arrow_forward!arrow_forwardIs there any graph that can support this answer?arrow_forward
- Econometrics Thomas Eisensee and David Stromberg wanted to measure how much news coverage of a foreign disaster impacted the amount of disaster relief provided by the U.S. government. They argue that the simple relationship would be biased. Let X = Minutes of News Coverage and Y= Disaster Aid. Choose a variable X2 that could bias the simple relationship. This variable should impact the amount of coverage and impact the amount of aid for reasons other than purely news coverage. Eisensee and Stromberg introduce an instrument Z = During the Olympics. Explain how Z could satisfy the relevant and exogenous criteria. Explain how you could use Z to estimate the impact of X on Y free from X2 bias. Hint: you should mention two stages.arrow_forwardThe demand for a 12-ounce bottle of sparkling water is given in the table.
