Suppose you pick 50 clovers from the grass in Washington square park. Some clovers are four-leaf clovers but most have only three leaves. Suppose clovers develop their leaves inde- pendently of each other and there is some probability p that they will develop into a four-leaf clover.

Calculate the probability that you get two or fewer four-leaf clovers, for each of p = 0.1, 0.05, 0.01. For each value of p, do the calculation in three ways: the exact calculation, the Poisson ap- proximation, and the Normal approximation (with the histogram correction.) Comment on your results – which approximation is better when?

You have a falafel cart and you sell falafel every weekday near Washington Square Park during lunch time. Your daily revenue is normally distributed with a mean of $200 and a standard deviation of $50. (a) Suppose there is another location that might be worth switching to. You plan to experiment with selling there for awhile, and then use a hypothesis test to determine whether you should switch. If the new location has a normally distributed revenue with a true...

Suppose you get 50 calories from the broccoli and 200 from the chicken. Assume that 50% of the chicken’s energy came from the grain and 50% from the grubs. What was the likely net primary productivity of the producers(s) that gave you the energy in the broccoli? In the chicken?

Suppose you are rancher, and you produce grass hay to feed to your cows over the winter. You have already paid for all of your inputs for hay production, but you still need to make decision for the seeding rate (lbs/ac) and fertilizer rate (lbs/ac). You have determined the amount of hay production (tons/ac) you produce is characterized by the following equation: ?=0.05625? +0.1125? −0.00013?2−0.00178?21212 This also means that ??? x1= 0.05625 − 0.00026?1 ???x2 = 0.1125 − 0.00356?2 Where...

Suppose you gather data from 450 residents in Pullman, Washington about the number of crimes they think happen on a monthly basis in their neighborhood. The answers range from 0 (no crimes) to 50 (this person things 50 crimes happen in Pullman, WA per month). The mean response is 12.3 with a standard deviation of 4.4. Using this information, construct a 90% confidence interval for the overall mean number of crimes the residents of Pullman think happen. Round all answers...

Suppose Tokyo is planning to construct a new public park. Based on some market research, they have determined that the town’s 50 residents can be divided into two types with respect to their benefit from this public good. 20 of the town’s residents are of Type 1 and the other 30 residents are of Type 2. Each resident's individual demand for acres of park space is given by: Type 1: QD = 20 – P Type 2: QD = 40...

Suppose that you won an exclusive bid to sell Christmas trees from National Park Service (NPS). However, NPS requires that you plant one and a half multiple of any number of trees you cut. For example, if you cut 4 trees, you have to plant 8 trees. If you cut 9, you have to plant 27 trees. The NPS may argue that the number of trees that survive is proportional to the number of tree that you grow. Or, they...

Suppose marginal benefit from a hectare of for a public park (assume it is a pure public good) for two groups of consumers (A and B) is given by: MBa = 10 − Q and MBb = (8 – Q)/2 where Q is the number of hectares of the park. To simplify our analysis, assume that there are only 1 consumer of each type. The marginal cost to provide the park is a constant $5. a) What is the socially...
