Suppose that the IQs of university A's students can be described by a normal model with mean 140 and standard deviation 8 points. Also suppose that IQs of students from university B can be described by a normal model with mean 120 and standard deviation 11.
a) Select a student at random from university A. Find the probability that the student's IQ is at least 130 points. The probability is nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
b) Select a student at random from each school. Find the probability that the university A student's IQ is at least 10 points higher than the university B student's IQ. The probability is nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
c) Select 3 university B students at random. Find the probability that this group's average IQ is at least 125 points. The probability is nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
d) Also select 3 university A students at random. What's the probability that their average IQ is at least 10 points higher than the average for the 3 university B students? The probability is nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

3. Suppose you are the manager of an airline company. As a recent MBA graduate, you decided to use all the knowledge you have acquired to improve the firm’s pricing decisions. To begin with, you search for a market survey company to find out the demand curve for flights. The market survey company sent you back a report stating that there are two distinct segments of consumers - tourists and business travelers – and that their demand curves are given by the following equations:
Market Demand for Tourists: Q = 500 – 2P + 2I
Market Demand for Business Travelers: Q = 1000 – P + I
Where Q is the quantity demanded (in thousands of tickets), P is the price for a ticket, and I is the median income of each segment of consumers.
Currently, the price for tourists is $200 and the price for business travelers is $500. Moreover, the median income of tourists is $50 and the median income of business travelers is $100.
a) Using the point slope elasticity formula, what is the price elasticity of demand for airline tickets at the current price and income level for each group of consumer? Hint: to answer this question you will need to accurately determine the slope of the two demand curves given the level of income for each group and find the quantity each group demands at the current price for the group given the income that each group has.
b) Based on your result in (a), do you think you should raise or lower the price paid by tourists? What about the price paid by business travelers?
c) To verify your answer in (b), set a new price for tourists that is $50 higher or lower than the original price of $200 and a new price for business travelers that is $50 higher or lower than the original price of $500. Make your determination of whether to raise or lower the price based on your answers in (b). Relative to the revenue accrued in each market segment with the original prices, what happens to the revenue accrued by the airline in each market segment with the new prices? Hint: If the revenue does not increase then you need to redo this problem by moving the price in the opposite direction!
d) Using the two-point elasticity formula (the arc elasticity formula), what is the price elasticity of demand when you go from the original price to the new price? In doing this problem hold income constant.

F6: The Logic of Individual Choice 28 28 unread replies. 28 28 replies. Joseph Gallo, the founder of the famous wine company that bears his name, said that when he first started selling wine right after Prohibition (laws outlawing the sale of alcohol), he poured two glasses of wine from the same bottle and put a price of 10 cents a bottle on one and 5 cents a bottle on the other. He allowed people test both and asked them which they wanted. Most wanted the 10-cent bottle, even though they were the same wine. What does thus tell us about people? Can you think of other areas where that may be the case? What does this suggest about pricing? Is the rational choice theory still applicable in this case?
