Sudi spends his income on two goods. His income elasticity of demand for the first good is ~1 = 0.2, while his income elasticity of demand for the second good is ~ 1 = 2. Illustrate in one diagram how a 10% increase in his income would affect the quantity he demands of the two goods that shows an incomeconsumption curve, and create another diagram for each of the two goods that shows an Engel curve. How do the slopes of the Engel curves compare?

Suppose that the helium porosity (in percent) of carbon samples taken from any particular seam is normally distributed with a true standard deviation of 0.75. a. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the true average porosity of a seam, if the average porosity in 20 specimens of the seam was 4.85. b. How large should a sample size be if the width of the 95% range has to be 0.40? c. What sample size is needed to estimate true average porosity with 99% confidence for a maximum margin of error of 0.2?

2) The ferrous ion-orthophenanthroline complex can be used to analyze for Fe(II) by using the absorption of this complex at 508 nm. A group of samples is known to contain between 0.1 and 0.2 g of Fe. A known sample containing 100 mg of Fe per liter was treated according to protocol, and the absorbance on a filter photometer was set to 0. The absorbance of a second standard containing 200 mg Fe per liter was then determined to be 0.795. What is the concentration of the unknown, which was then found to have an absorbance of 0.650?

Census data for a city indicate that 64.4% of the under-18 population is white, 14.5% black, 19.5% Latino, 1.4% Asian, and 0.2% other ethnicities. The city points out that of 25,0092 police officers, 64.8% are white, 14.5% black, 19.1% Latino, and 1.4% Asian. Do the police officers reflect the ethnic composition of the city's youth? Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. (Assume a significance level of alphaαequals=0.05)
