5 0

Okun was a professor at Yale who studied relationship between unemployment and productivity. He observed that for the US,when unemployment rises by 1%, then GDP is expected to fall by 2%.

So when unemployment goes from 2% to 5%, the GDP will fall by (5-2)*2 = 6%

According to this law, when unemployment goes up by 1%, GDP drops by 2%. In the question, unemployment rate goes from 2% to 5%, meaning unemployment goes up by 3%, so the GDP drops by 6%. Thus the effect is a drop in GDP by 6%.

Solve the equation 5.5g+3=2.5g+9

Hoochie [10]

Answer: g=2

Step-by-step explanation:5.5g+3=2.5g+9

We move all terms to the left:

5.5g+3-(2.5g+9)=0

We get rid of parentheses

5.5g-2.5g-9+3=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

3g-6=0

We move all terms containing g to the left, all other terms to the right

3g=6

g=6/3

g=2

Answer:

The inter quartile range is 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Interquartile range:-

Definition:-

The inter quartile range is the difference between the upper (Q3) and lower(Q1) quartiles, and describes the middle 50% of values when ordered from lowest to highest.

Interquartile range = higher quartile - lower quartile

given data 50.25.80.10

write the ascending order 10 25 50 80

Step:-1

Median:- The median is obtained by first arranging the data in ascending or descending order and applying the following rule.

If the number of observations is odd, then the median is

$({\frac{n+1}{2} })^{th}$ observations

Step2:-

The median is obtained by first arranging the data in ascending or descending order and applying the following rule.

If the number of observations is even, then the median is $({\frac{n}{2} })^{th}$

$({\frac{n+1}{2} })^{th}$

In given data the number of observations is '4'(even)

If the number of observations is even, then the median is $({\frac{n}{2} })^{th}$

$({\frac{n+1}{2} })^{th}$

median is $({\frac{4}{2} })^{th}$ is 2 observations and $({\frac{4+1}{2} })^{th}$ is 2.5 observations.

so we have to select average of these two observations.

therefore the median is '3' observation

median of the given data = 50

Step:3

Interquartile range = higher quartile - lower quartile

= 80-25

=55
