Answer:

<u>3</u>

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand refers to degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded to a change in price.

Price elasticity of demand is calculated as;

average price = \frac{5\ +\ 4}{2} = $4.5

Average quantity = \frac{100\ +\ 50}{2} = 75

Elasticity of demand (E_{d}) is given by \frac{change\ in\ quantity}{average\ quantity}  ÷ \frac{change\ in\ price}{average\ price}

= \frac{100\ -\ 50}{75} ÷ \frac{5\ -\ 4}{4.5}

= 3

Thus absolute value (ignoring the negative sign of change in prices) of price elasticity of demand is 3.

A bag contains 9 red marbles, 5 white marbles, and 6 blue marbles. You draw 4 marbles out at random, without replacement. Find t
IRINA_888 [86]

a) 0.0260

b) 0.0681

Explanation:

a)

The bag contains:

r = 9 (number of red marbles)

w = 5 (number of white marbles)

b = 6 (number of blue marbles)

So, the total number of marbles in the bag at the beginning is:

n=9+5+6=20

At the 1st attempt, the probability of choosing a red marble is:

p(r)=\frac{r}{n}=\frac{9}{20} (1)

At the 2nd attempt, the 1st red marble is not placed back, so now the number of marbles is (n-1), while the number of red marbles left is (r-1). So the probability of choosing another red marble at the 2nd attempt is

p(r)=\frac{r-1}{n-1}=\frac{8}{19} (2)

With a similar argument, the probabilities of selecting a red marble in the 3rd and 4th attempt are

p(r)=\frac{7}{18} (3)

p(r)=\frac{6}{17} (4)

Therefore, the probability of drawing 4 red marbles in the first 4 attempts without replacing is:

p(rrrr)=\frac{9}{20}\frac{8}{19}\frac{7}{18}\frac{6}{17}=\frac{3024}{116280}=0.0260

b)

At the 1st draw, the probability that the marble is not red is:

p(r^c)=1-p(r)=1-\frac{9}{20}=\frac{11}{20}

At the 2nd draw, there are 9 red marbles left and 19 total marble left. So, the probability of NOT drawing a red marble is:

p(r^c)=1-\frac{9}{19}=\frac{10}{19}

At the 3rd draw, there are 9 red marbles left and 18 total marbles left. So, the probability of NOT drawing a red marble is:

p(r^c)=1-\frac{9}{18}=\frac{9}{18}

Finally, with a similar argument the probability of NOT drawing a red marble at the 4th and last attempt is:

p(r^c)=\frac{8}{17}

So, the total probability of drawing 4 non-red marbles in the first 4 attempts is:

p(r^cr^cr^cr^c)=\frac{11}{20}\frac{10}{19}\frac{9}{18}\frac{8}{17}=\frac{7920}{116,280}=0.0681

Leto [7]

T applies for a life insurance policy and is told by the producer that the insurer is bound to the coverage as of the date.
