Answer the following questions for a single sampling plan with sample size n = 80 and c = 3 1. Draw the OC curve for the sampling plan, using the Poisson table distributed in class 2. If AQL = 2% and LTPD = 7%, what would be the producer's and consumer's risks associated with the sampling plan? 3. If the sampling plan is used to inspect a lot of 10,000 products with an average defective rate of 3%, what would be the average quality after inspection, assuming all the defectives will be replaced if detected?
please answer with perfect formula !!!!!
without formula answer should be down thumbs

Suppose Governor Mary Smith is campaigning for reelection as governor of her state. She claims that during her first term, the state's citizens are 50% better off since GDP has increased from $10 billion to $15 billion. Why might her claim be misguided?
When using economic data and statistics to give credibility to a statement, especially for a policy proposal, it's important to be precise about what statistics are being used. In this question, what type of GDP statistic is Governor Smith referring to real, nominal, per capita, growth rate, etc.? Not only that but if she's claiming that citizens are "50% better off", is GDP even the best measure of well-being?
please answer all asked thank you!

Determine the price elasticity of demand, the cross-price elasticity of demand or the income elasticity in the following scenarios
a. Consider the market for coffee. Suppose the price rises from $4 to $6 and quantity demanded falls from 120 to 80. What is price elasticity of demand? Is coffee elastic or inelastic?
b. John’s income rises from $20,000 to $22,000 and the quantity of hamburger he buys each week falls from 2 pounds to 1 pound. What his income elasticity? Is hamburger a normal or inferior good?
c. The price of apples rises from $1.00 per pound to $1.50 per pound. As a result, the quantity of oranges demanded rises from 8,000 per week to 9,500. What is the cross-price elasticity of apples? Are these goods substitutes or complements?

Production economic principles and the theory of the firm form the basis for analysing decisions by businesses about what goods and services to produce, how many goods and services to produce, and how to produce goods and services. Drawing on your understanding of the concepts of production functions, total, average, marginal, fixed and variable costs of production, and output and revenue, and using labelled diagrams, explain the key principles and measures a manager of a business would use to decide how much of a variable input to use in a production process and how much total product to make in a production cycle.

Define and explain the tenets of the perfectly competitive economic model. Explain, and show using diagrams and labels, why economists argue that competition between producers in markets to supply goods and services, and competition between consumers in markets to buy goods and services, with some conditions applying, will allocate scarce resources efficiently in the economy. Under what conditions, and why, do markets fail. Give examples of market failure, and why these occur, where markets do not provide the amount of goods and services that people would prefer, and which would make people as well off as they could be.
