A tax on gasoline is proposed in order to raise money for the pollution-control activities of several public agencies. The tax will be 10¢ per gallon, and last year 10.3 million gallons of gasoline were used by motorists (this is strictly an illustrative number). Does this mean that we can anticipate $1,030,000 in revenues from this tax? Explain and use a graph to answer this question.
■CASE STUDY THE PROPERTY MANAGER AS ECONOMIST-PLANNER After graduating from college with honors and a master's degree in eco- nomics, Charles Gill was hired by the local urban renewal authority in his home town of approximately 500,000 people. His responsibilities were in the areas of statistics, financial planning, and research. When activities of the urban renewal authority began to wind down upon completion of a major downtown redevelopment project, one of the directors, a businessman who had acquired some real estate investment property, hired Charles to manage one of his residential rental properties. The area's economy had slowed with the general downturn that occurred throughout the country and severely depressed the price of real estate in many areas, including property in Charles's town. In addition, a local defense factory had closed, leaving hundreds out of work. Charles saw there were suddenly many properties available that were priced far less than they had sold for just a…

In 2016 Longwood University hosted the only Vice Presidential Debate. It was an expensive endeavor that, along with the significant educational benefits to our campus, was also meant to encourage interest and, ultimately, increase the number of applicants to Longwood. Suppose we have the following application data: Year 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Number of Applicants 5000 5100 6000 6800 7800 Administration points to this post-debate increase in number of applicants as clear evidence that the debate expenses were well worth it - applications increased because of the debate. Why is this conclusion problematic, and why would multiple regression analysis address the problem you identified and, hence, lead to better evidence of a potential impact of the debate on number of applicants?
