10 1. For each of the following scaling functions for a von Neumann-Morgenstern utility func-tion, determine the Marginal Rate of Substitution between X1 and X2 and the equationfor an indifference curve through the consumption bundle (100,100) (solve for X2 on theleft hand side of the equation). State 1 is the bad outcome that occurs with probability0.2 and State 2 the good outcome that occurs with probability 0.8. Graph these indif-ference curves and comment on what you see. Is a consumer with these preferences riskaverse, risk neutral, or risk loving?(a) V(X)=lnX(b) V(X)= vX(c) V(X)= X(d) V(X)= X?%3D

The US divorce rate has been reported as 3.6 divorces per 1000 population.

Consider an individual who is risk-loving instead of risk-averse. a. Is U(I) concave or convex?b. Suppose this person is offered an actuarially fair insurance product that guarantees her a certain income, E[I]. Graph the consumer surplus this person receives from buying this insurance as p, the probability of being sick, varies from 0 to 1. You should plot p on the horizontal axis and consumer surplus on the vertical axis.c. Suppose, finally, that this person is offered a subsidy (perhaps from her parents) for buying insurance so that, if she buys insurance, she will be guaranteed an income γ E[I], where γ >1. With the subsidy, insurance is now actuarially unfair in her favor. Graph how her consumer surplus (M) changes as p, the probability of being sick, varies from 0 to 1. [Hint: draw a coordinate plane with p on the x-axis and M on the y-axis.] Based on this graph, under what conditions is she least likely to buy the subsidized insurance?
Resistors labeled as 100 Ω are purchased from two different vendors. The specification for this type of resistor is that its actual resistance be within 5% of its labeled resistance. In a sample of 180 resistors from vendor A, 150 of them met the specification. In a sample of 270 resistors purchased from vendor B, 233 of them met the specification. Vendor A is the current supplier, but if the data demonstrate convincingly that a greater proportion of the resistors from vendor B meet the specification, a change will be made. a) State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses. b) Find the P-value. c) Should a change be made?
Resistors labeled as 100 Ω are purchased from two different vendors. The specification for this type of resistor is that its actual resistance be within 5% of its labeled resistance. In a sample of 180 resistors from vendor A, 149 of them met the specification. In a sample of 270 resistors purchased from vendor B, 233 of them met the specification. Vendor A is the current supplier, but if the data demonstrate convincingly that a greater proportion of the resistors from vendor B meet the specification, a change will be made. P-value?

The Greer Tire company manufactures a new steel-belted radial tire to be sold through a national chain of discount stores. Because the tire is a new product, Greer’s managers believe that the mileage guarantee offered with the tire will be an important factor in the acceptance of the product. Let X = miles that the tires last: X~N(60,000 2,500) Find the mileage guarantee that ensures this company will repair no more than 15% of its product for free. Assume the distribution of tire mileage is normal.
