A question of interest to game managers is the hunting strategy of predators. Do they just take the first prey that comes along, or are the selective? In a study of winter prey selection in a National Park, radio-tagged wolves were observed to have killed prey according to the table below. Wolves were identified as the predators by their tracks in the snow. At the most recent census in the National Park there were about 3,500 white-tailed deer, 1,000 elk, and 500 moose.

Do these data provide sufficient evidence at the a=.05 level that the wolves are not selecting their prey at random? That is, is there evidence that the proportion of deer, elk, and moose killed by wolves are not in the same proportion as in the park population?

1. Sources of monopoly power

A monopolist, unlike a competitive firm, has some market power. It can raise its price, within limits, without the quantity demanded falling to zero. The main way it retains its market power is through barriers to entry—that is, other companies cannot enter the market to create competition in that particular industry.

Complete the following table by indicating which barrier to entry appropriately explains why a monopoly exists in each scenario.

Scenario

Barriers to Entry

Exclusive Ownership of a Key Resource

Government-Created Monopolies

Economies of Scale

The Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) formerly controlled all U.S. sources of bauxite, a key component in the production of aluminum. Given that Alcoa did not sell bauxite to any other companies, Alcoa was a monopolist in the U.S. aluminum industry from the late 19th century until the 1940s.
In order to own and operate a taxi, drivers are required to obtain a taxi medallion.
In the natural gas industry, low average total costs are obtained only through large-scale production. In other words, the initial cost of setting up all the necessary pipes and hoses makes it risky and, most likely, unprofitable for competitors to enter the market.
