In a competition of 50 professional ballroom dancers, 22 compete in the fox-trot competition, 18 compete in the tango competition and 6 compete in the both the fox-trot and tango competition

Consider the Addition Principle,

“If one event can occur in m ways and a second event with no common outcomes can occur in n ways, then first or second event can occur in m + n ways.”

6 dancers compete in the both the fox-trot and tango competition. Hence, 6 will be subtracted from the sum of number of dancers who compete in the fox-trot competition and the number of dancers who compete in the tango competition.

That is, the number of dancers who compete in the fox-trot or tango competition will be equal to the “number of dancers who compete in the fox-trot competition” plus “number of dancers who compete in the tango competition” minus 6.

22 + 18 – 6 = 34

Therefore, the number of dancers who compete in the fox-trot or tango competition will be 34.

problem 1. Suppose two firms facing a demand D(p) compete by setting prices simultaneously (Bertrand Competition). Firm 1 has a constant marginal cost c1 and Firm 2 has a marginal cost c2. Assume c1 < c2, i.e., Firm 1 is more efficient. Show that (unlike the case with identical costs) p1 = c1 and p2 = c2 is not a Bertrand equilibrium. how do you solve this?
