A) Suppose the probability that a mosquito dies when subjected to a 1 unit of insecticide is 0.7, and the probability that a fly dies when subjected to the same dose of insecticide is 0.5.   Assuming independence, what is the probability that both the fly and mosquito die when subjected to 1 unit of insecticide

B) Suppose A and B are events where the probability that B occurs is 0.3, and the probability that both A and B occur is 0.18. The conditional probability of A, given B, is

C) Suppose A and B are independent events, each occurring with probability 0.3 What is the probability that A does not occur and B does not occur?

D) Suppose A and B are disjoint events where A has probability 0.5 and B has probability 0.4. The probability that A or B occurs is

E) Suppose A and B are events where the conditional probability of A, given B, is 0.9, and the probability of B is 0.3. The probability that A and B both occur is

Mosquito control is a pure public good. Suppose there are 2 identical individuals, Alan and Ben in the economy, and each has the following marginal private benefit from mosquito control: MPBi=50 – Qi. The marginal cost of mosquito control is MSC=MPC=MC=$10 per unit. a. What is the socially optimal level of mosquito control Q? (Hint: You need to vertically sum the individual private benefits: MSB=MPB1+MPB2.) Illustrate your answer on a graph showing MSB and MSC and labelling all the points...
