What test is being shown [1] What type of hearing loss can this test be used to detect [2] 

Which are the Brønsted–Lowry bases in the following equilibrium? CH3COO–(aq) + H2O(l) 085d4c52-9923-4c0d-9fd0-5403538dc3be.PNG CH3COOH(aq) + OH–(aq)

The partial pressures of CH 4, N 2, and O 2 in a sample of a gas mixture were found to be 115 mm Hg, 484 mm Hg, and 591 mm Hg, respectively. Calculate the mole fraction of oxygen.

Readings (a) What is the empirical strategy of Green et al. (2016)? Is it just a difference-in-difference or something else? What is the treatment group? What is the control group? What is the synthetic control approach? (b) Describe the three empirical strategies used in Asquith et al. (2023). (c) Discuss potential costs and benefits that should be considered in a cost-benefit analysis of a tax on sugary beverages. What is the question that Colchero et al. (2017) ask, and what do they find?

Math-Based Problems Write your answers to the following math-based problems on a sheet (or sheets) of paper. Make sure to show all your work and clearly label your answers. You will upload an image or PDF scan of your work. 

Part B The market inefficiency stems from the fact that:

Air Pollution Schlenker and Walker (2016) study the effect of air pollution on contemporaneous health. (a) Consider the correlation between the air pollution that someone is exposed to and their health. Name two reasons why this correlation may not be causal. (b) Describe the empirical strategy that Schlenker and Walker use to obtain causal estimates. If possible, use the language of IV. (c) Schlenker and Walker don’t simply rely on local congestion in California airports, but instead make use of congestion driven by delays in other states. Why is local congestion problematic for recovering causal effects, while congestion stemming from other states is not? In your answer, use the phrase “exclusion restriction”.
