Give at least three examples from economics where each of the following type of data can be used: cross-sectional data, time series data, and panel data.
In each of the following populations, per capita production changes over time according to a fixed pattern (rather than a random pattern). For each population, find the population during the first 6 years and sketch a graph. Do you think it will grow or shrink in the long run? Find the average per capita production in each case. Does an average greater than 1.0 always mean that the population is growing? A population starts at size 1000 and grows with per capita production rt that alternates between 0.6 and 1.5.
The following question is on statistics. An automatic car wash takes exactly 5 minutes to wash a car. On average, 10 cars per hour arrive at the car wash. Suppose that 30 minutes before closing time, 5 cars are in line. If the car wash is in continuous use until closing time, is it likely anyone will be in line at closing time?

The horizontal axis ranges from 0 to 7 and is labeled: Period. The vertical axis ranges from 0 to 80 and is labeled: Revenue ($ billions). The points are plotted from left to right at regular increments of 1 period starting at period 1. Initially, the points are plotted in an upward, diagonal direction. However, after the third point, the points are plotted in a downward, diagonal direction that becomes steeper as period increases. The points are between 23 to 71 on the vertical axis. -A time series plot contains a series of 6 points connected by line segments. The horizontal axis ranges from 0 to 7 and is labeled: Period.
