...1. Suppose that the FOMC issues a new Directive to the Trading Desk at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York specifying a new federal funds rate target of 2.25 percent. What policy action should the Trading Desk implement to comply with the new FOMC Directive? a. At the conclusion of each FOMC meeting, the Committee issues a statement that includes the federal funds rate target, an explanation of the decision, and the vote tally, including the names of the voters and the preferred action of those who dissented. To implement the policy action, the Committee issues a directive to the New York Fed’s Domestic Trading Desk that guides the implementation of the Committee’s policy through open market operations. Before conducting open market operations, the staff at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York collects and analyzes data and talks to banks and others to estimate the amount of bank reserves to be added or drained that day. They then confer with Fed officials in Washington who do their own daily analysis and reach a consensus about the size and terms of the operations. Then, a New York Fed official sends a message to the primary dealers to indicate the Fed’s intention to buy or sell securities, and the dealers submit bids or offers as appropriate. 2. Explain the adjustments that will take place in the above diagram following the policy action you identified in part (a). b. The Federal Reserve bank would need to account for less reserves but add onto the percentage...

...Economics 30330: Statistics for Economics Problem Set 8 - Suggested Solutions University of Notre Dame Instructor: Julio Gar´ ın Spring 2012 Hypothesis Testing (80 Points) 1. Consider the following hypothesis test: H0 : µ ≥ 20 HA : µ < 20 A sample of 40 provided a sample mean of 19.4. The population standard deviation is 2. (a) Create a 95% confidence interval for the mean. We know σ, therefore we should use the z − table. This is a one-tailed (lower tail) test, so the 95% confidence interval will be given then by σ x − z.05 √ , ∞ ¯ n 2 19.4 − 1.65 √ , ∞ 40 The 95% confidence interval is µ ∈ [18.878, ∞). (b) What is the p-value? The p-value is the area in the lower tail. First, we calculate the z-value: z= 19.4 − 20 √ = −1.9 2/ 40 Using the normal table with z = -1.9, p-value =.0287. (c) At α = 0.01, what is your conclusion? p-value > .01, so we fail reject H0 at the 99% level. (d) What is the rejection rule using the critical value? What is your conclusion? c Reject H0 at the 99% level if z ≤ zα =-2.33. In this example, -1.9 > -2.33, so we fail to reject H0 at the 99% level. 2. Consider the following hypothesis test: H0 : µ = 15 HA : µ = 15 A sample of 50 provided a sample mean of 14.5. The population standard deviation is 3. 1 (a) Create a 95% confidence interval for the mean. We know σ, therefore we should use the z − table.

...Exercise 4.1, problem 5a for i := 1 to 123 do for j := 1 to i do print i * j a) How many times is the print statement of the third line executed? Since we have to count iterations starting from one until 123, the first count would be 1 then 3 then 6 and so forth. The segment can be translated to (n)(n+1)/2 where 123 would be (n). (123)(123 + 1)/2 The statement is executed 7626 times. Exercise 4.2, problem 18a a) How many permutations of 1, 2, 3 have k ascents, for k = 0, 1, 2? Ascent can be determined by simply looking at its numbers. In the case of 123, 3 > 2 and 2 >1 so there are 2 ascents. 123 = 2 321 = 0 231 = 1 213 = 1 132 = 1 312 = 1 k = 0 1 k = 1 4 k = 2 1 Exercise 4.3, problem 22a Solve each problem (if possible), and then convert the results to base 10 to check your answers.

Problem 2-1 Draw a detailed ER diagram for an car rental agency database (e.g. Hertz), keeping track of current rental location of each car, its current condition and history of repairs, and customer information for a local office, expected return date, return location, car status (ready, being-repaired, currently-rented, being-cleaned). Select attributes from your intuition about the situation, and list them separately from the diagram, but associated with a particular entity or relationship in the ER model. Solution to 2-1 Problem 2-2 Given the following assertions for a relational database that represents the current term enrollment at a large university, draw an ER diagram for this schema that takes into account all the assertions given. There are 2000 instructors, 4000 courses, and 30,000 students. Use as many ER constructs as you can to represent the true semantics of the problem. Assertions: An instructor may teach one or more courses in a given term (average is 2.0 courses). An instructor must direct the research of at least one student (average = 2.5 students). A course may have none, one, or two prerequisites (average = 1.5 prerequisites). A course may exist even if no students are currently enrolled. All courses are taught by exactly one instructor. The average enrollment in a course is 30 students. A student must select at least one course per term (average = 4.0 course selections). Solution to 2-2 Problem 3-1 ...

...MATH 55 SOLUTION SET—SOLUTION SET #5 Note. Any typos or errors in this solution set should be reported to the GSI at isammis@math.berkeley.edu 4.1.8. How many different three-letter initials with none of the letters repeated can people have. Solution. One has 26 choices for the first initial, 25 for the second, and 24 for the third, for a total of (26)(25)(24) possible initials. 4.1.18. How many positive integers less than 1000 (a) are divisible by 7? (b) are divisible by 7 but not by 11? (c) are divisible by both 7 and 11? (d) are divisible by either 7 or 11? (e) are divisible by exactly one of 7 or 11? (f ) are divisible by neither 7 nor 11? (g) have distinct digits? (h) have distinct digits and are even? Solution. (a) Every 7th number is divisible by 7. Since 1000 = (7)(142) + 6, there are 142 multiples of seven less than 1000. (b) Every 77th number is divisible by 77. Since 1000 = (77)(12) + 76, there are 12 multiples of 77 less than 1000. We don’t want to count these, so there are 142 − 12 = 130 multiples of 7 but not 11 less than 1000. (c) We just figured this out to get (b)—there are 12. (d) Since 1000 = (11)(90) + 10, there are 90 multiples of 11 less than 1000. Now, if we add the 142 multiples of 7 to this, we get 232, but in doing this we’ve counted each multiple of 77 twice. We can correct for this by subtracting off the 12 items that we’ve counted twice. Thus, there are 232-12=220 positive integers less than 1000 divisible by 7 or 11. (e) If we want to exclude the multiples...
