Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.32 Using Real Economic Data and Time Series Graphs skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the semi-log style chart titled Long-Run Real GDP per Person. Which conclusion is best supported?

AThe economy added the same dollar amount every year for sure.

BA straight upward line on a log scale indicates a roughly constant growth rate.

CThe chart proves population stopped growing.

DA straight line on a log scale means real GDP per person did not change.

Solution & Explanation:On a logarithmic scale, a straight rising line represents a steady percentage growth rate, not necessarily equal dollar increases.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A table shows an index rising from 100 to 121 over two years. A student says this is a 21 percentage-point increase in the growth rate. Which correction is best supported?

AIndexes cannot be used to calculate changes.

BThe index fell 21% because 121 is larger than 100.

CThe index level rose 21%, not necessarily the growth rate by 21 percentage points.

DThe increase must be 121 percentage points.

Solution & Explanation:An index from 100 to 121 represents a 21% increase in the level; percentage points describe differences between rates.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the line chart titled Business Cycle Indicators. Which conclusion is best supported?

AThe chart proves the leading indicator caused the slowdown.

BBoth indicators remain perfectly flat.

CThe coincident indicator turns down before the leading indicator.

DThe leading indicator turns down before the coincident indicator weakens.

Solution & Explanation:The leading indicator peaks earlier and declines before the coincident indicator starts to fall, matching its leading role without proving causation.
