- Suppose that the Lorenz Curve for country A is given by yA = x 2.2 and for country B is yB = 0.3x 2 + 0.7x. Use the Gini index to determine which of the two countries has greater inequality in its income distribution.arrow_forwardThe analysis of tooth shrinkage by C. Loring Brace and colleagues at the University of Michigan’s Museum of Anthropology indicates that human tooth size is con-tinuing to decrease and that the evolutionary process has not yet come to a halt. In northern Europeans, for example, tooth size reduction now has a rate of 1% per 1000 years. a. If t represents time in years and y represents tooth size, use the condition that y = 0.99y0 when t = 1000 to find the value of k in the equation y = y0 ekt. Then use this value of k to answer the following questions. b. In about how many years will human teeth be 90% of their present size? c. What will be our descendants’ tooth size 20,000 years from now (as a percentage of our present tooth size)?arrow_forwardDerive a general expression for the variance of net future loss Var(L) with a constant force of interest δ under each of the following models:i. μ_x(t) = μii. μ_x(t) = 1/(ω-x)arrow_forward
- Let X ~ Beta (2, 2) and Y = 1 / X^2. • Find the cumulative distribution function of Y. • Calculate the expected excess loss function of Y. • Determine whether the distribution of Y is light-tailed or heavy-tailed.arrow_forwardIf X is an exponential random variables with rate 1, then its distribution function is given by F(x) = 1 − e−x Show that x = − ln(1 − u).arrow_forwardThe time for the first widget to be manufactured each morning is random between 1 and 3 seconds with a pdf of f(x)=1/162(x-3)^2(x+6) for 0 < x < 6What is the cumulative distribution function, F(x)? What is the probability of a widget being made earlier than 4 s?Answer to four decimal places What is the probability of a widget being made later than 1.3 s?Answer to four decimal placesarrow_forward
- In Table 11.2 the estimated coefficient on black is 0.084 in column (1),0.688 in column (2), and 0.389 in column (3). In spite of these large differences, all three models yield similar estimates of the marginal effect of race on the probability of mortgage denial. How can this be?arrow_forwardIn an effort to make the distribution of income more nearly equal, the government of a country passes a tax law that changes the Lorenz curve from y = 0.97x2.1 for one year to y = 0.35x2 + 0.65x for the next year. Find the Gini coefficient of income for both years. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) before afterarrow_forward
