Each value represents the number of mistakes (defects) found on a student loan application. Values for 50 consecutive loan applications are given. Calculate the appropriate centerline and 3-sigma control limits for the c-chart, and then plot the data and create a control chart. Does the process appear to be in a state of statistical control? Why or why not?
Upper control limit (UCL) =
Centerline (CL) =
Lower control limit (LCL) =
Process in statistical control?

There are two estimates for the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes, one is -0.4 and the other is -0.8. Assume that the government decides to increase cigarette taxes, which leads to a 20% increase in cigarette prices. You are hired as a consultant to use your economics expertise to predict the impact of this tax change. Use the given information to answer the following questions.
a. One of the elasticity figures refers to short-run and the other to long-run. Briefly explain which estimate corresponds to which case and why.
b. In each case (i.e. short-run and long-run), by how much will the quantity demanded for cigarettes change? Show your calculations.
c. Based on your answer to part b above, briefly explain whether the tax hike worked best in the shortrun or the long-run, if the aim was to reduce negative consequences of smoking?
d. If e-cigarettes are more addictive compared to regular cigarettes, would you expect the demand for ecigarettes to be relatively more or less price elastic compared to the demand for regular cigarettes? Explain briefly.
