What type of market structure do you think is more conducive to firms engaging in pricefixing?
Description
(a) Along with your textbook reading, review the videos, blog, and articles below on market competition. Then
respond to the following questions: If all the firms in an industry are charging the same price, is it fair to say that
they are engaged in price collusion? To what extent might this be a plausible explanation? Are there any other
possible explanations? What type of market structure do you think is more conducive to firms engaging in pricefixing? Why do you think the price-fixing situation in the case described went on for so long? (one paragraph)

Using statistical analysis investigate whether the differences observed between the CAD group and the control group for each of the different patient groups, shown above, are statistically significant.
Q3. 2304 patients were recruited to a study to investigate whether the angiotensinogen M235T polymorphism is associated with the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in the Taiwanese population. 1448 patients were in the CAD group and 856 in the control group. For the patients recruited to the study, other factors, such as gender, presence of diabetes, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia, and whether the participants were smokers or alcohol drinkers were also recorded. See Table below:
CAD group Control Total Male 1100 540 1640 Female 348 316 664 With diabetes 440 136 576 Without diabetes 1008 720 1728 With hypertension 752 336 1088 Without hypertension 696 520 1216 With hypercholesterolemia 193 96 289 Without hypercholesterolemia 1255 760 2015 Current smoker 699 304 1003 Current non-smoker 749 552 1301 Current alcohol drinker 311 212 523 Non-alcohol drinker 1137 644 1781
(a) Using statistical analysis investigate whether the differences observed between the CAD group and the control group for each of the different patient groups, shown above, are statistically significant.
(b) Results of the genotype frequencies of the angiotensinogen M235T polymorphism in the CAD group and control group are shown in the table below:

discussion of hypothesis testing and level of statistical significance?
correct data entry and execution of tests yielding correct results?
Questions to be answered using SPSS software
Q1. It is thought that a high protein diet slows tumour growth and prevents cancer Initiation. An experiment was conducted to test the effect of a high protein diet versus a low protein diet on tumour weight for 20 mice. Two groups of ten laboratory mice with cancer were selected for experimentation. One group was fed a low protein diet whist the other group were fed a high protein diet for the duration of the experiment. Dataset Q1_14_15.xlsx contains the data obtained for tumour weight (in grams) of the 20 mice at the end of the experiment.
