A researcher believes that the so-called “sugar high” is not real. He gathered 30 adolescents and recorded their activity level in the scale of 0 – 100 (0 = not active and 100 = super active). First, he recorded participants’ activity level before they consumed candy. After recording their pre-sugar activity level, the researcher gave out 5 Snickers bars to participants. Then, he recorded their post-sugar activity level. The average difference between post-sugar and pre-sugar activity level is 50 (i.e., the activity levels are higher after sugar than prior to it) with a standard deviation of 10.
A). What is the type of test you will use? (z-test, single-sample t-test, paired-samples t-test, or independent samples t-test) and why (what information provided in the problem)B). What are the hypotheses (Be Specific)
Using the data in Table 6–11, calculate a 3-month moving average forecast for month 12.
Q1. The table provided gives data on indexes of output per hour (X) and real compensation per hour (Y) for the business and nonfarm business sectors of the U.S. economy for 1960–2005. The base year of the indexes is 1992 = 100 and the indexes are seasonally adjusted.
a. Plot Y against X for the two sectors separately.
b. What is the economic theory behind the relationship between the two variables? Does the scattergram support the theory?
c. Estimate the OLS regression of Y on X.
Note: on the table ( 1. Output refers to real gross domestic product in the sector. 2. Wages and salaries of employees plus employers’ contributions for social insurance and private benefit plans. 3. Hourly compensation divided by the consumer price index for all urban consumers for recent quarters.)

- Nielsen tracks the amount of time that people spend consuming media content across different platforms (digital, audio, television) in the United States. Nielsen has found that traditional television viewing habits vary based on the age of the consumer as an increasing number of people consume media through streaming devices.† The following data represent the weekly traditional TV viewing hours in 2016 for a sample of 14 people aged 18–34 and 12 people aged 35–49.
