A researcher wants to estimate the average monthly income of individuals in a certain city. A random sample of 20 individuals is selected, and their monthly incomes (in dollars) are recorded as follows: 2,500 2,800 3,000 3,200 3,400 3,500 3,600 4,100 4,200 4,300 4,500 4,600 4,700 4,900 3,700 3,800 4,000 5,000 5,200 5,500 Assuming the incomes are normally distributed, calculate the 90% confidence interval for the average monthly income of individuals in the city.. Please show all the necessary steps and provide your answer with the appropriate interpretation. Hints: • Calculate the sample mean and sample standard deviation. . Determine the critical value (t-value) for a 90% confidence level. • Calculate the margin of error using the critical value and sample standard deviation. • Calculate the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval using the sample mean and margin of error. • Interpret the confidence interval in the context of the problem.

You have been commissioned to estimate the demand curve for admission to Lake Saint- Michel, a recreational fishing site in France. To do this, you spend a day surveying visitor to the site. You divide the area around the site into 3 zones. You ask each person you interview where they come from. Based on that information, and figures on annual attendance at the park, you are able to calculate the annual number of visitors from each zone. Your data are shown below. For each zone, the total travel cost 1 euro per person for each kilometer traveled to and from the site. One-Way Distance from Park Origin Total Number of Population Users (in kilometer) A 6.25 125,000 18,750 B 12.5 937,500 93,750 18.75 1,250,000 62,500 b. Suppose a fee were charged to enter the site. What is the per capita demand function for each origin? Please express the relationship in an equation. Calculate the number of visitors and consumer surplus if no fee were C. charged to enter the park.
