Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Country | Amount (millions of tons) |
China | 831.7 |
Japan | 104.7 |
US | 81 |
India | 101.5 |
Russia | 71.5 |
Formula used:
The simple index for the period
with the base period 0 is calculated as:
Where
Calculation:
The base is country U and the amount for country U is 81 million tons, that is,
The table that shows the simple index of all periods is given below:
Country | Amount (millions of tons) | Index |
China | 831.7 | |
Japan | 104.7 | 129.2592593 |
US | 81 | 100 |
India | 101.5 | 125.308642 |
Russia | 71.5 | 88.27160494 |
The index for country C is 1026.790123. Hence, country C produces approximately

- The last Harry Potter book went on sale at 12:01 a.m. on July 21, 2007. The publisher Scholastic reported the next day that it broke all records, ... selling an unprecedented 8.3 million copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in its first 24 hours on sale. In Harry Potter’s wizard world, currency is measured in galleons, sickles and knuts, where 1 galleon = 17 sickles, 1 sickle = 29 knuts. Scholastic Books, the publisher of the Harry Potter series in the United States, has issued paperback copies of books that (they claim) Harry Potter used at Hogwarts. The price is listed as $5.99 US (14 Sickles 3 Knuts). (a) Use this information to figure out the number of dollars per galleon.

For a single week, the highway patrol set up a hidden radar gun to measure how many cars break the speed limit after having numerous reports of accidents on this stretch of highway. The highway patrol needs to put together an action plan if the annual proportion of vehicles who break the speed limit is over 9%. However, they could only set up the radar gun for one week.
