4. Say that you have an income of $100, all of which you spend on 2 goods: x1 and x2. The price of x1 is $1, and the price of x2 is $2.
(a) The government imposes a quantity tax of on the consumption of x1. Write down an equation for your budget constraint.
(b) The government initially sets the quantity tax at = 0:5. What is the slope of the budget constraint in this case?
(c) Now say that the government increases the tax to = 0:75. How does this increase in the quantity tax change the slope of the budget line?

Consider the following data on x and y shown in the table below,
| x | 2 | 4 | 7 | 10 | 12 | 15 | 18 | 20 | 21 | 25 |
| y | 5 | 10 | 12 | 22 | 25 | 27 | 39 | 50 | 47 | 65 |
Fit the model E(y)=β0+β1x to the data, and plot the residuals versus x for the model on Minitab. Do you detect any trends? If so, what does the pattern suggest about the model?

Consider the problem maximize Z = 5 x1 + 3 x2 + 2 x3 + 4 x4
subject to
5 x1 + x2 + x3 + 8 x4 = 10
2 x1 + 4 x2 + 3 x3 + 2 x4 = 10
X j > 0, j=1,2,3,4
(a) Make the necessary row reductions to have the tableau ready for iteration 0. On this tableau identify the corresponding initial (artificial) basic feasible solution. Also, identify the initial entering and leaving variables.
(b) Following the result obtained in (a) solve by the Simplex method, using the Big-M method.
(c) Solve by the Two-Phase method.

Tom works in a shop. On average, he sees that 3 purchasers come to the shop every hour. Calculate the following:
a) What is the probability that at least 2 and as many as 4 purchasers come to the shop in a given hour?
b) The mean rate of purchaser decreases to 5 purchasers every 2 hours. During one hour, what is the most likely number of purchasers that will come to the shop (hint: the answer must be an integer)?

My retirement monies are invested at tiaacref.org - pick at least 2 funds, at most 4 funds at tiaacref where my monies should be invested and tell me why. Your reason should be convincing! If the market dips can I ride it out? What's the longest time between a market dip (Dow or S&P 500) and it returning back to the before dip value? When did this occur?
