World Military Expenditure The following chart shows total military and arms trade expenditure from 2011–2020 (t = 1 represents 2011).
†A bar graph titled "World military expenditure" has a horizontal t-axis labeled "Year since 2010" and a vertical axis labeled "$ (billions)". The bar graph has 10 bars. Each bar is associated with a label and an approximate value as listed below.
1: 1,800 billion dollars
2: 1,775 billion dollars
3: 1,750 billion dollars
4: 1,730 billion dollars
5: 1,760 billion dollars
6: 1,760 billion dollars
7: 1,850 billion dollars
8: 1,900 billion dollars
9: 1,950 billion dollars
10: 1,980 billion dollars
(a)
If you want to model the expenditure figures with a function of the form
f(t) = at2 + bt + c,
would you expect the coefficient a to be positive or negative? Why? HINT [See "Features of a Parabola" in this section.]
We would expect the coefficient to be positive because the curve is concave up.
We would expect the coefficient to be negative because the…

Q. Table provided gives data on gross domestic product (GDP) for the United States for the years 1959–2005.
a. Plot the GDP data in current and constant (i.e., 2000) dollars against time.
b. Letting Y denote GDP and X time (measured chronologically starting with 1 for 1959, 2 for 1960, through 47 for 2005), see if the following model fits the GDP data:
Yt = β1 + β2 Xt + ut
Estimate this model for both current and constant-dollar GDP.
c. How would you interpret β2?
d. If there is a difference between β2 estimated for current-dollar GDP and that estimated for constant-dollar GDP, what explains the difference?
e. From your results what can you say about the nature of inflation in the United States over the sample period?

- A collector of antique clocks sold at auction believes that the price received for the clocks may be modeled as a linear function of the age of the clocks and the number of bidders at the auction. After a preliminary study and collection of 32 observations, the collector came up with the following second-order model: y = BO+B₁x₁+B₂x₂ + ß3 x1x2 +B4x² +ɛ, where y: price of a clock; x₁: age of a clock; x2: the number of bidders. Considering the output below and by setting a = 0.05, answer the following questions.
