3. Do you think that this estimated regression model developed for these data could be used
to estimate the test score for the states that did not participate in the NAEP program?
4. Suppose you consider the states that spend at least $4000 per pupil but not more than
$6000 per pupil (table 1.2). For these states does the relationship between the two
variables appear to be different than for the complete data set? Discuss the results of your
findings and whether you think deleting the aforesaid states is appropriate?
5. Developing the estimates of composite test scores for the states that did not participate in
NAEP program is a worthwhile proposition? Comment on the basis of data available.
6. Based on your analysis, do you think that the educational achievement level of student is
related to how much the state spends on education?
Plastic bags play an integral role in our day today life. Be it carrying grosser from the local
market (Kirana Store) or storing of the household article in a poly bag. The omnipresence of this
utility object brought to the force an impending problem that needed to be resolved. The problem
associated with plastic bag is that they are non-biodegradable and in fact take a close to 60 years
to decompose. Apart fromthat there are different problems like drain clogging and death of
castles etc. this prompted the Delhi government to finally take a notice and introduce a blanket
ban on plastic bags in 2008. The storage and sale of plastic bags is banned and a penalty of Rs. 1,
00,000 or five years of imprisonment or both.
The officials empowered to enforce ban are the staff of the health and environment department.
Food and supply officers and sub divisional magistrates are also empowered to enforce the ban.
The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) has been assigned the task of implementation. It
has formed a special inspection team for the purpose. The team would visit the retailers and the
manufacturing unit and would initiate the punishment to the violators. The scope of this ban has
been widened by including four star hotels under its preview. The imposition of this wide span
ban at that time prompted the researcher to analyze the impact of this ban and its effectiveness
from the perspective of both the consumer and vendor. They first checked whether the consumer
and the vendor are aware of this ban or not. Along with that they analyzed the preference,
choices and willingness of the consumers and vendors from the diverse backgrounds to switch to
the eco-friendly alternatives so as to ascertain the effectiveness of the ban on the plastic bags. In
a survey conducted in Delhi to understand the perception of the consumers about the plastic bags
ban. The statements related to the respondents perception are listed below:
