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?

A six sided die is rolled 4 times. The number of 2's rolled is counted as a success.

  1. Construct a probability distribution for the random variable.

# of 2's

P(X)

  1. Would this be considered a binomial random variable?
  2.    What is the probability that you will roll a die 4 times and get a 2 only once?

d) Is it unusual to get no 2s when rolling a die 4 times? Why or why not? Use probabilities to explain.

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?

a) What is the probability that at least 2 and as many as 4 purchasers come to the shop in a given hour?

 

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?
