You are the mayor of a small town with 2000 residents. The head of your economic development agency recently conducted a survey in which the 2000 residents said that a public concert in the centre of town would be worth $20 to each of them. Since it costs only $5000 to hold the concert, you organized and held the concert, which everyone in town enjoyed. But when you asked for donations to pay for the concert, you only collected $30 in total. What do you know?
Question 88 options:
The concert was an example of the Tragedy of the Commons.
From the standpoint of total costs and benefits, the cost of the concert certainly exceeded the benefit.

There is no requirement for healthy people to have insurance coverage. Thecompany conducts a survey to see how different populations respond to the proposed cost.People with no illnesses and disabilities, generally the young and healthy, respond that theydo not spend $700 on healthcare in an entire year, and most feel they would not waste somuch money on premiums when the chance of needing surgery or expensive healthcaretreatments is so small. However, older, sicker people think that $700 per month is a greatdeal, as most of them spend far in excess of this amount on healthcare. It seems like agreat deal for them.

The winner is the one who chooses the second smallest number. For example, if the selected numbers are [2, 2, 3, 5, 9, 10], the winner will be the one who chose 3. In the event that multiple people choose the second smallest number, the winner is randomly selected from among them. For example, if the selected numbers are [2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 5, 9, 10], each player who chose 3 will win with a probability of 1/4. Even if everyone chooses the same number (meaning there is no second smallest number), the winner is randomly selected from among them. Each player wants to choose the number that will give them the greatest chance of winning. Find the Nash equilibrium.arrow_forward

His division’s budget has been set and so he knows that he will receive a salary increase of $400 over his present salary. Joe Doe has also been offered a transfer to another division in the company. He is unsure of the salary situation in the other division. However, his best information leads him to conclude that if he took the new job, there is a 60% chance that he would receive a salary increase of $600 over his present salary, and a 40% chance that he would receive only a $150 increase over his present salary. To summarize, Joe Doe can either stick with his current job and get a salary increase of $400, or take a transfer to a new job and get a salary increase of either $600 with a 60% probability, or $150 with a 40% probability.

- A craft chocolate producer considers hiring one extra worker in production. Currently, the shop is selling 200 chocolate bars per day at a price of $6. With one extra worker, the manager estimates that they would be able to increase the output to 250 chocolate bars per day and that they would need to lower the price to $5.50 in order to sell them. The daily salary of this new employee would be the same as for the existing ones: $150. What should the manager do?

As a result, the news has been covering this health issue, with many headlines involving famous NFL players. It has been assumed that this has made most Americans that follow football more aware of the risks involved in playing the game. However, we have not seen a decline in the number of young boys, ages 8-10, that are joining football leagues. For this age group to take part in playing football, these young boys need to have the permission of a parent or guardian to play, which demonstrates the adults support to their participation. Given the risks to these young boy’s health, we wonder why would parents allow or even encourage their children to play football?

An airline's data indicate that 50 percent of people who begin the online process of booking a flight never complete the process and pay for the flight. To reduce this percentage, the airline is considering changing its website so that the entire booking process, including flight and seat selection and payment, can be done on two simple pages rather than the current four pages. A random sample of 300 customers who begin the booking process are exposed to the new system, and 117 of them do not complete the process. a. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses needed to attempt to provide evidence that the new system has reduced the noncompletion percentage. b.
