. Root depth for grasses and shrubs in a type of soil known as glacial outwash was studied in Yellowstone National Park. It was found that the root depth in this type of soil is a normally distributed random variable with standard deviation 8.94 inches. (a) In a proposed study region of glacial outwash, how many plants should be carefully dug up and studied to be 90% sure that the sample mean root depth is within 0.5 inches of the population root depth? (b) How many to be 90% sure that it is within 0.25 inches? (Is there any obvious relationship to the answer of part (a)?

Dizzy Inc. is the only operator of themed amusement parks (DizzyWorld). Dizzy’s production function (which, oddly, relies only on labor) is given by:

Q = 60L^0.5

Dizzy pays its workers w = $12. Consumer demand for admission to DizzyWorld is given by: QD = 24,000 – 200P

1a) Find Dizzy Inc’s profit-maximizing quantity (number of theme park admissions)

1b)  Find what price Dizzy will charge to attain this level of demand?

1c)  Compare (using SPECIFIC NUMBERS) the Monopoly P and Q with the outcomes form a perfectly competitive market

Business law:

Eminent domain is the constitutional principle that the government can take private property from an owner for a public purpose with fair compensation. Examples would be to build an airport, a park, or a highway. One controversial Supreme Court case allowed a city government to transfer ownership from one set of owners to a private corporation for a new headquarters building. The city said it was for "urban renewal" and would bring in more money for the city. Share your thoughts about whether this is a fair public use or if that transfer or ownership should not have been allowed.
