a. identify n, x, and p0.
b. check the nonskewness criterion. is a large-sample hypothesis test about p appropriate?
c. conduct the appropriate hypothesis test to determine whether the proportion of workers in the retail industry who believe a boss has hurt their career is different from p0. use a 5 0.05.
d. compute the p value associated with this test.

Eliza works for a consumer agency educating young people about advertisements. instead of teaching students to carefully read advertisement claims, she encourages them to develop a strong sense of self and to keep their life goals and dreams separate from commercial products. why might eliza's advice make sense?

Evaluate a real situation between two economic actors; it could be any scenario: two competing businesses, two countries in negotiations, two kids trading baseball cards, you and another person involved in an exchange or anything else. use game theory to analyze the situation and the outcome (or potential outcome). be sure to explain the incentives, benefits and risks each face.

Suppose life expectancy in years (l) is a function of two inputs, health expenditures (h) and nutrition expenditures (n) in hundreds of dollars per year. the production function is upper l equals ch superscript 0.40 baseline upper n superscript 0.60l=ch0.40n0.60. beginning with c = 1, a health input of $400400 per year (hequals=44) and a nutrition input of $400400 per year (nequals=44), show that the marginal product of health expenditures and the marginal product of nutrition expenditures are both decreasing. the marginal product of health expenditures when h goes from 44 to 55 is nothing, and the marginal product of health when h goes from 66 to 77 is nothing. (round your answers to three decimal places.)
