The National Football League (NFL) records a variety of performance data for individuals and teams. To investigate the importance of passing on the percentage of games won by a team, the following data show the conference (Conf), average number of passing yards per attempt (Yds/Att), the number of interceptions thrown per attempt (Int/Att), and the percentage of games won (Win%) for a random sample of 16 NFL teams for the 2011 season (NFL web site, February 12, 2012).

A) Develope the estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the percentage of games won given the average number of passing yards per attempt.
B) Develope the estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the percentage of games won given the number of interceptions thrown per attempt.
C) Develope the estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the percentage of games won given the average number of passing yards per attempt and the number of interceptions thrown per attempt.
D) The average number of passing yards per attempt for the Kansas City Cheifs was 6.2 and the number of interceptions thrown per attempt was .036.

Suppose the marginal damage and marginal benefit curves in a polluted neighborhood are md = p/3 and mb = 4 – p. also, suppose that transactions costs are low, so that the consumers and the firm can bargain. we saw that in this case, the socially-optimal level of pollution is achieved. start by computing the socially-optimal p. then, for each of the following cases, compute the amount of money transferred through the bargaining process, and indicate who pays whom (i. e., whether consumers pay the firm, or vice versa). also, compute the gains to each party relative to the status quo (i. e., the starting point of the bargaining process).a)consumers have the right to clean air; firm is dominant in the bargaining process. b)consumers have the right to clean air; consumers are dominant in the bargaining process. c)firm has the right to pollute; firm is dominant in the bargaining process. d)firm has the right to pollute; consumers are dominant in the bargaining proces
