1. In Chapter 5‚ of Supercrunchers‚ "Experts versus Equations"‚ the author makes a great case for the fact that equations predict better than humans. What reasons does the author give that illustrate why a human cannot make predictions as well as an equation? Reason 1: the human mind tends to suffer from a number of well documented cognitive failings and biases that distort our ability to predict accurately. Reason 2: Once we form a mistaken belief about something‚ we tend to cling to it. We are

m Problem1: The demand for roses was estimated using quarterly figures for the period 1971 (3rd quarter) to 1975 (2nd quarter). Two models were estimated and the following results were obtained: Y = Quantity of roses sold (dozens) X2 = Average wholesale price of roses ($ per dozen) X3 = Average wholesale price of carnations ($ per dozen) X4 = Average weekly family disposable income ($ per week) X5 = Time (1971.3 = 1 and 1975.2 = 16) ln = natural logarithm The standard errors

In order to make the estimation results more specific I add the employment rate of females to the initial regression. The estimation is realized using cross sectional data and applying Ordinary Least Squares method. According my estimations there is a statistically significant negative impact of the government expenditures‚ at the same time there is a positive
