...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. This is a two-tailed test, so the 95% confidence interval will be given then by σ σ x − z.025 √ , x +...

...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 ...

...The Critical Section Problem Problem Description Informally, a critical section is a code segment that accesses shared variables and has to be executed as an atomic action. The critical section problem refers to the problem of how to ensure that at most one process is executing its critical section at a given time. Important: Critical sections in different threads are not necessarily the same code segment! Concurrent Software Systems 2 1 Problem Description Formally, the following requirements should be satisfied: Mutual exclusion: When a thread is executing in its critical section, no other threads can be executing in their critical sections. Progress: If no thread is executing in its critical section, and if there are some threads that wish to enter their critical sections, then one of these threads will get into the critical section. Bounded waiting: After a thread makes a request to enter its critical section, there is a bound on the number of times that other threads are allowed to enter their critical sections, before the request is granted. Concurrent Software Systems 3 Problem Description In discussion of the critical section problem, we often assume that each thread is executing the following code. It is also assumed that (1) after a thread enters a critical section, it will eventually exit the critical section; (2) a thread may terminate in the non-critical section. while (true) { entry section critical section exit...
