Rachel and Yulia are building an art studio above their back bedroom. There will be doors on three sides leading to a small deck that surrounds the studio. They need to place an electrical junction box in the ceiling of the studio so that it is equidistant from the three light switches shown by the doors. Copy the diagram of the room and find the location of the junction box.

C# Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design

A problem of interest to health officials (and others) is to determine the effects of smoking during pregnancy on infant health. One measure of infant health is birth weight; a birth weight that is too low can put an infant at risk for contracting various illnesses. Since factors other than cigarette smoking that affect birth weight are likely to be correlated with smoking, we should take those factors into account. For example, higher income generally results in access to better prenatal care, as well as better nutrition for the mother. An equation that recognizes this is $$ b w g h t=\beta_0+\beta_1 \text { cigs }+\beta_2 \text { faminc }+u $$ (i) What is the most likely sign for $\beta_2$ ? (ii) Do you think cigs and faminc are likely to be correlated? Explain why the correlation might be positive or negative. (iii) Now, estimate the equation with and without faminc, using the data in BWGHT. Report the results in equation form, including the sample size and $R$-squared. Discuss your results, focusing on whether adding fominc substantially changes the estimated effect of cigs on bwght.

Multiple Regression Analysis: Estimation

Computer Exercises

Use the data in WAGE2 to estimate a simple regression explaining monthly salary (wage) in terms of IQ score (IQ). (i) Find the average salary and average IQ in the sample. What is the sample standard deviation of IQ? (IQ scores are standardized so that the average in the population is 100 with a standard deviation equal to 15 .) (ii) Estimate a simple regression model where a one-point increase in IQ changes wage by a constant dollar amount. Use this model to find the predicted increase in wage for an increase in IQ of 15 points. Does IQ explain most of the variation in wage? (iii) Now, estimate a model where each one-point increase in IQ las the same percentage effect on wage. If IQ increases by 15 points, what is the approximate percentage increase in predicted wage?

tourism contains quarterly visitor nights (in thousands) from 1998 to 2017 for 76 regions of Australia. (a) Extract data from the Gold Coast region using filter() and aggregate total overnight trips (sum over Purpose) using summarise(). Call this new dataset gc_tourism. (b) Using slice() or filter(), create a training set for this data excluding the last 3 years. Call the dataset gc_train_3. (c) Compute three years of forecasts using the average, naive, seasonal naive, and drift methods. Call the result gc_fc_3. (d) Use accuracy() to compare forecast accuracy of different methods using MAPE. Explain your finding. (e) Use the time series cross-validation method to compare forecast accuracy of different methods. Explain your finding.

Use the Bricks data from aus_production (Australian quarterly clay brick production 1956-2005) for this exercise. (a) Use an STL decomposition to calculate the trend-cycle and seasonal indices. (Experiment with having fixed or changing seasonality.) (b) Use a naive method to produce forecasts of the seasonally adjusted data. (c) Use decomposition_model() to reseasonalise the results, giving forecasts for the original data. (d) Do the residuals look uncorrelated?

1. Consider the over-shooting model we studied in class and under PPP with sticky prices. There are two countries, the United States and Venezuela. (a) Use the graph below (or make your own) to set up the initial equilibrium for each country's currency market in period 0. Plot and label the initial curves for (i) the UIP condition, (ii) supply of real money balances, and (iii) the demand for real money balances. Indicate the initial equilibrium in each market. United States E_USD/KRW i_USD M_USD/P_USD^USA South Korea E_KRW/USD i_KRW M_KRW/P_KRW^KOR

(b) Suppose in period 1 there is an unexpected and permanent change in Korea's money supply. In particular, the Bank of Korea announces that it will decrease the supply of Korean won—the national currency—by 5%. In the same graphs you used for part (a), indicate any shifts in curves and show the equilibrium in the short run (period 1) for both countries. (c) Which currency appreciates between period 0 and period 1, and by how much (i.e., more than 5%, less than 5%, or exactly 5%). (d) Using the same graphs again, depict the long run (period 2 and onward) equilibrium in both countries, indicating any shifts in curves. (e) Which currency appreciates between period 1 and period 2? (f) Using the figures below (or create your own), draw the transition path, over time, for the U.S. interest rate, i_{USD}, and the won-dollar exchange rate exchange rate, E_{USD/KRW}, the U.S. local currency price, P_{USD}^{USA}, and the Korean interest rate, i_{KRW}.

2. Consider the over-shooting model we studied in class: Prices are sticky in the short run while PPP holds in the long run. For our purposes, define the short run as one period, and the long run as two periods or more. Focus on the US perspective only. Suppose that both the UK and rest-of-world (ROW) markets are initially in equilibrium in period 0. Then in period 1 the Bank of England announces that it will decrease its money supply in the future. That is, in period 1 there is no change in the money supply; only the news that the money supply will permanently decrease beginning in period 2. (a) For the United States, use the graph below (or make your own) to set up the initial equilibrium for the UK markets in period 0. Plot and label the initial curves for (i) the UIP condition, (ii) supply of real money balances, and (iii) the demand for real money balances. Indicate the initial equilibrium in each market. United States (b) In the same graph you used for part (a), indicate any shifts in curves and show the equilibrium in the short run (period 1). What happens to the UK interest rate (increase or decrease) and exchange rate (appreciate or depreciate)?
