Question:

As an international development researcher, you would like to know African Citizen's perceptions about current levels of democracy. Your working hypothesis is that a series of reforms have increased African views of the level of democracy today. You do not have a good research design to compare attitudes before and after the reforms, but know that leaders and development experts would like to see a value of 6, on the scale of 1-10. Using the data from the 2015 Afrobarometer, determine whether perceptions about current levels of democracy statistically differ from a value of 6.

Please help with interpreting the data and setting a response.

For each of the following transition matrices, determine whether the Markov chain with that transition matrix is regular: (1) Is the Markov chain whose transition matrix whose transition matrix is 0 0.5 0.5 0.5 0 0.5 0 0 regular? (Yes or No) (2) Is the Markov chain whose transition matrix whose transition matrix is 0 1 0 0.3 0 0.7 0 0 regular? (Yes or No) (3) Is the Markov chain whose transition matrix whose transition matrix is 0 1 0 0.6 0 0.4 1 0 0 regular? (Yes or No) (4) Is the Markov chain whose transition matrix whose transition matrix is 0 1 0 0 0.6 0 0.4 regular? (Yes or No) (5) Is the Markov chain whose transition matrix whose transition matrix is 0 1 0 0.3 0.2 0.5 0 1 0Exercise 1-20 Static 10 A professor records the majors of her 30 students as follows: 2.5 Accounting Economics Undecided Finance Management points Management Finance Marketing Economics Management Marketing Finance Marketing Accounting Finance Finance Undecided Management Undecided Economics Economics Accounting Management Undecided Economics Accounting Economics Management Accounting Economics PBook Click here for the Excel Data File a.

(10 points) (The Weak Law of Large Numbers) In order to estimate f, the true fraction of smokers in a large population, Alvin selects n people at random. His estimator M, is obtained by dividing S,, the number of smokers in his sample, by N, i.e., My = S,. Alvin chooses the sample size n to be the smallest possible number for which the Chebyshev inequality yields a guarantee that P(|Mn - f| 2 () 56. where c and o are some prespecified tolerances. Determine how the value of n recommended by the Chebyshev inequality changes in the following cases. (a) (5 points) The value of e is reduced to half its original value. (b) (5 points) The value of & is reduced to half its original value
