What makes continental plates different from oceanic plates?    

Suppose we compare GDP per person in Botswana and the United States in two ways: first using the nominal exchange rate and then again using the relative price-based conversion. The GDP per person in Botswana calculated using the exchange rate method is $500 while that calculated using the relative price-based conversion is $1,000. What is the relative price ratio between Botswana and the U.S. (i.e., the price level for Botswana relative to the United States)?  Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

The following table contains observed and predicted GDP per capita numbers – all relative to the United States – for three different countries. You can assume that the three countries share the same capital income share . Select all the correct answers below. Observed GDP per capita Predicted GDP per capita China 0.30 0.80 Japan 0.70 0.95 Brazil 0.25 0.75

Compute this economy’s GDP per capita in the long run. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Suppose that nominal (and real) GDP in the United States was $1,000 in the year 1900. Assume that the US nominal GDP grows at a constant rate of 5.0% and the inflation rate is 2.0% per year (every year). Using the constant growth rule in equation (3.7) in the textbook plus the fact that

Patients who undergo chronic hemodialysis often experience severe anxiety. The accompanying data give score results from a psychiatric questionnaire for patients that viewed relaxation​ videotapes, where higher scores correspond to higher anxiety. Use limit grouping with a first class of 11–17 and a class width of 7.   *You will use the information from your distribution for the next two questions. Save your scratch work.    Obtain a frequency and relative frequency distribution.    (Type integers or decimals rounded to three decimal places as​ needed.)
