Compute the projection of y = (1, 2, 2, 2, 1) onto span (x1, x2) where

x1 =(1, 1, 1, 1, 1) x2 =(4, 1, 0, 1, 4)

The inner product to use is the usual dot product. (This will compute a best-fitting function that is quadratic with no linear term, fitting to the data (−2, 1),(−1, 2),(0, 2),(1, 2),(2, 1).)

Sophie's utility function is given as U = 2(x1)^(1/2) + 8(x2) where x1 and x2 represent the two goods Sophie consumes. Sophie's income is $3400 and the prices are given as x1 = $2 and x2 = $160 a) derive & represent in two separate diagrams the demand for x1 and x2 ( for any income and prices) b) If Sophie's income is increased to $6600, what is the income effect on x1? Is x2 a normal good? Justify your...

Probabilities Compute P(X1 + 2X2 -2X3 > 7) , where X1, X2, X3 are iid random variables with common distribution N(1,4). You must give the numerical answer. Specify and show any formulas used for E, P, and Var for example Var( X1 + 2X2 -2X3) = 4 + 22(4) + (-2)2(4) = 35. Please specify how all the individual numbers where obtained and the formula used.

1. Amy's utility function is U(x1 , x2) = x1x2, where x1 and x2 are Amy's consumption of banana and apple, respectively. The price of apples is $1, the price of bananas is $2, and his income is $40. (a) Find out the Amy's optimal consumption bundle. (Note that Amy's utility function is Cobb-Douglas.) (b) If the price of apples now increases to $6 and the price of bananas stays constant, what would Amy's income have to be in order...
