...Former Statistics Department chair Donald B. Rubin said that the poll’s response rate??at just over half the pool of undergraduates asked to participate—is “not bad by current standards, but it’s not up to the standards of what would be regarded as a good federal survey,” which would aim to top 80 percent...
...meals per week was estimated to increase from its current 13.6 to 14.1, requiring more food and staff. Mayer and Cross determined that the most expensive scenario would be to extend dinner by one hour in all upperclass houses and Annenberg from Monday to Thursday. Supposing that the participation rate??or meals eaten—rises by 4 percent, HUDS’ costs would increase by $1,298,341, according to their report. The least costly scenario considered by the subcommittee so far was to extend dinner by one hour in Annenberg and to change the dinner hours...

This “offset rate?? is designed to be the level of returns on government bonds, so that if I invest only in government bonds, I will end up no worse off. However, by choosing stocks, I accept higher risk for the possibility of higher returns. If stocks match their average historical return, I will end up with a fat bonus of 3.5 percent per year, compounded over 30-plus...
