The numbers 1,6,15,20,15,6,1 are the coefficients of the binominal expansion (p+q)^6. Use the normal quantile plot method to show that these numbers are close to a normal distribution.

Expert Solution

first sort the values in ascending order

1

6

15

here we have 7 values so divide the standard normal distribution into 8 equal-sized areas with 7 values. so each segment has 12.5% area

find z values for each of the segment

	probability	z values
12.5	0.125	-1.15035
25	0.25	-0.67449
37.5	0.375	-0.31864
50	0.5	-1.4E-16
62.5	0.625	0.318639
75	0.75	0.67449
87.5	0.875	1.150349

i have used excel to find out z scores(NORMSINV)

now plot the graph with the following values

actual quantiles	theoretical quantiles
1	-1.15034938
1	-0.67448975
6	-0.318639364
6	-1.39214E-16
15	0.318639364
15	0.67448975
20	1.15034938

here R-value is 0.916. straight line is good fit for data

straight line on q q plot indicates the data is approximately normal.

The numbers 1,6,15,20,15,6,1 are close to a normal distribution.

remark:i have used excel to draw the graph

Assume that x is a binominal random variable with n=100 and p=0.40. Use a normal approximation to find the following: a) P(x≥38) b) P(x=45) c) P(x>45) d) P(x<45)

Consider a market characterized by demand Q = 80/6 − P/6 . It is served by two firms A and B, and both firms have constant marginal cost equal to 8. Suppose an investment by firm A reduces its marginal cost to 5 (a decrease of 37.5%), while B’s marginal cost remains at 8. If the firms compete by setting quantities, what is the predicted percentage change in the market price? Show your work.

Assume that Z (6). Generate 1000 random numbers from Z and plot the corresponding histogram.

Real numbers p and q are randomly chosen from the interval 0 to 1, inclusive. If r is given by r = 2(p + q), and p, q, r are rounded to the nearest integers to give P, Q and R, respectively, determine the probability that R = 2(P + Q). (As an example, if p=0.5 and q=0.381, then r=1.762, and so P =1, Q=0, and R=2)

Let p and q be any two distinct prime numbers and define the relation a R...

Let p and q be any two distinct prime numbers and define the relation a R b on integers a,b by: a R b iff b-a is divisible by both p and q. For this relation R: Prove that R is an equivalence relation. you may use the following lemma: If p is prime and p|mn, then p|m or p|n. Indicate in your proof the step(s) for which you invoke this lemma.

Supply and Demand Use the following equations: (1) P = 4 + Q (2) P = 12 – 3Q a. Please show steps: a. Which equation represents the supply curve, and which represents the demand curve? How do you know? b. What is the equilibrium price and quantity in this market? c. Graph the supply and demand curves for these equations. d. Suppose the price is $8. What is the new Qs and Qd? What type of disequilibrium situation exists,...
