According to a study administered by the National Bureau of Economic Research, half of Americans would struggle to come up with $2000 in the event of a financial emergency. The majority of the 1900 Americans surveyed said they would rely on more than one method to come up with emergency funds if required. In the survey, 397 people said that they "certainly" would not be able to cope with an unexpected $2000 bill if they had to come up with the money in 30 days, and 553 people said they "probably" would not be able to cope. Step 1 of 2 : What percentage of Americans "certainly" would not be able to produce $2000 in the event of an emergency according to the study? Round your answer to one decimal place, if necessary.
General Buck Turgidson is preparing to make his annual budget presentation to the U.S. Senate and is speculating about his chances of getting all or part of his requested budget approved. From his 20 years of experience in making these requests, he has deduced that his chances of getting between 50 and 74 percent of his budget approved are twice as good as those of getting between 75 and 99 percent approved, and two and one-half times as good as those of getting between 25 and 49 percent approved. Further, the general believes that there is no chance of less than 25 percent of his budget being approved. Finally, the entire budget has been approved only once during the general’s tenure, and the general does not expect this pattern to change. What are the probabilities of 0–24 percent, 25–49 percent, 50–74 percent, 75–99 percent, and 100 percent approval, according to the general?
A certain company makes three grades (A, B, and C) of a particular electrical component. Historically, grade A components have a 2 percent defective rate, grade B components have a 5 percent defective rate, and grade C components have a 10 percent defective rate. Since grade A components are less likely to be defective, the company can charge more money for those components than it can charge for the grade B or C components. Similarly, the company can charge more money for grade B components than it can charge for grade C components. Recently, the company found a batch of components in a warehouse that were known to be of the same grade, but the grade was not labeled on the components. To determine the grade (A, B, or C), the company selected from that batch a random sample of 200 components, which contained 16 defective components. a) Construct and interpret a 99 percent confidence interval for the proportion of defective components in the batch.b) Does the interval calculated in…
Question 4 Three qualities of second-hand bicycles are available in equal numbers: high, medium, and low. There are many buyers and sellers, who value each quality of the bike differently. The value that each agent assigns to each quality of the bike is given below. Quality High Medium Low Buyer’s value 100 (high), 65 (medium), 30 (low) Seller’s value 75 (high), 60(medium) , 45 (low) (i) What is the efficient outcome in this market? Equivalently, which types of bikes should change their owners to maximise the social welfare? Suppose that the buyers do not know the quality of any particular bicycle for sale, but the sellers do know the quality of the bike they sell. The price at which a bike is traded is determined by demand and supply. Each buyer wants at most one bicycle. (ii) Assuming that each buyer purchases a bike only if its expected quality is higher than the price, and each seller is willing to sell their bike only if the price exceeds their valuation, what is the…
Question 1A. Francophone is a telecommunication company, which is located in the Accra –Adabraka. The company sells mobile phones and accessories. Most of their newlyreleased phones are ordered. Francophone stocks three main phones for walk-incustomers. Every week, they generate profits of GH¢600 from selling Galaxy S2,GH¢400 from Galaxy S3 and GH¢300 from Galaxy S4. The overall weekly cost of thesetypes of phones are GH¢1,800, GH¢2,100 and GH¢1,200 respectively.This week, Francophone has a budget of GH¢12,000 available to buy these three types ofphones. During sales, each phone type must be unpacked, leading to 8 hours of unpackingtime for S2 phones, 12 hours for S3 phones and 16 hours for S4 phones. The managerestimates that he and his workers have 120 labour hours available to unpack the three typesof phones. He has enough space to order 20 phones this week. The manager also wants tostock at least twice as many S4 as S2 and S3 phones because S4 phones sell better.2a) Formulate a…
